New Blog Features

Hey Everyone -

Using the free tracking software from Google Analytics we have been monitoring the traffic on our blog since its inception at the start of the project. Using this data we have been able to watch as visitors rushed to our site after seeing us on the news or reading about us on the paper and now that we have reached over 250 visitors to our site we are happy to offer a new way to keep up on whats going on with the Saratoga Springs High School InvenTeam.

As you will notice if you scroll down the page we now have two new features. Google users can now add a feed to their iGoogle Home Page where they can get up to the minute updates through our posts or if your feeling really adventurous you can even sign up for our e-mail feed which will e-mail you with every new blog post. All of these new services and more to come are offered for free from FeedBurner, a media distribution and audience engagement service which was recently purchased by Google.

Using products such as those listed above to inform our audience as well as communicate within our group are just some of the awesome new experiences the InvenTeam Project is allowing us to do. Through this project we have been exposed to tons of awesome new technologies that we will with no doubt use in our post-graduate future. Through this grant we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to use these cool technologies today.

Thanks -
Elliott
