There is a new site coming online soon, and it’s a bit different.
It’s called The Speros Project.
There are about 43 of us.
Professional journalists and not professional journalists.
Bloggers and not bloggers.
And we’re trying to follow the K.I.S.S. rule.
Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox people with their focus on their faith, their writing, the news, family and social issues, and religion.
In two languages - Spanish and English.
I’m excited about this. Robert Duncan and Clint Gillespie have been working around the clock to get it up and running by April 4th.
I’m delighted to be editor of the Culture category.
I did say top notch people contributing, didn’t I:^)
Dr. Mark Byron, Jan Bishop, Alicia Huntley, Charles Jockelson, Jennifer Ewing Pierce, Greg Popcak, Jay Allen, Dawn Eden, Bob Smietana, Amy Welborn, Father Matthew Kowalski, Julie Davis, Bill Cork.
That isn’t everyone, but it is an idea.
You may know some from their bloggging or articles, if you don’t you’ll have the opportunty to get to know them at The Speros Project.
I just popped over to take a look at a online training course for citizen journalists.
Us.
Bloggers and not bloggers.
I think this new site will be a kind of bloggers blog/zine thing.
I just got stuck logging into the course. Some editor, eh?
I think I feel like 40 some other people are feeling.
Excited.
Apprehensive.
Honoured.
Ready to leave the gate.
Until we do you can read more at Santificarnos.
The Speros Project.
Coming April 4th.

I’m not sure I’ll want to read it, for then I wouldn’t be able to maintain my own illusion that I know much of anything.
Bene, when I tried to change password after logging in for their course, it gave me an error. Tried logging later with original password only to find that , despite error message, the change had been accepted. So have another go!
Shalom,
Jan
that happened to me the first time as well, i´ve onpassed it to clint. i set up a new account after hearing from u, and got in no problem.
Bene, would you mind correcting the typo on my name? Thanks, alicia
PS I am also excited and scared by this. It’s my daughter who has the degree in journalism, not me!
Thanks Alicia, fixed.
