Bloggernacle Back Bench: Valentine crafts, cards and chocolate

Techie tip: Wards and stakes will soon be blogging! Well sort of, through the new LDS.org tool “Newsletter” that is slated for release in beta any day now. The LDSTech site explains, “Newsletter provides a blog-like site that wards and stakes can use to provide local news to members. The application replaces the News and Information feature on the classic local unit website and provides a digital alternative to the paper newsletters that organizations typically create. Articles for Newsletter appear in one stream of news on the Newsletter homepage, arranged in reverse chronological order. Members can view the news they want to see by selecting the category on the right. The selected category filters the news.” Exciting! Click in to learn more or to join the beta testing needed to refine the program for all members.
