While there is always room to argue that "late" is worse than "never" in the realm of reporting news, allow me to boldly take that risk.

I describe Suite 101 as an online magazine with a split focus on news plus "evergreen" articles. It is one of the very first sites for which I wrote articles, and I continue to do so.

Three newsworthy events occurred fairly recently.

Personal Sub-Domains at Suite 101

Conceived as a response to Google's "Panda" changes, Suite 101 decided to give each author a unique sub-domain.

My Suite 101 articles, as well as my "Author's Profile", are now found in the " http://mike-dehaan.suite101.com/ " sub-domain.


Promoted to Feature Writer

A few months ago, Suite 101 again asked writers to apply for an upgrade to "Featured Writer". Since I already met the entrance criteria, and felt I could easily live with the responsibility to submit at least one article a month to any topic, I applied.

The editorial staff approved on Oct. 21st, 2011.

Yes, I was pleased.

My First "Editor's Choice" Article

My August 9th article, "Will Closing a Canal Avert an Ecological Natural Disaster?",was given an Editor's Choice award on Oct. 31.

Again: yes, I was pleased.

    Flexible Sidebar

    Weebly's "Blog Author" widget from the Blog Sidebar's Elements menu provides a lot of flexibility. You can change both the title and the text.

    It has all the capabilities for text editing that you find in most Weebly text widgets.

    At this point, I don't see a way to code any HTML in this widget.

    The "Picture" does what you expect: it displays an image of your choice. I just added my home-made picture of "Copyright DeHaan Services 2013" as the top element in this sidebar on Jan. 22, 2013.

    The "Search Box" is a "Pro" feature; if you're paying for Weebly hosting, it may be worthwhile.

    The other widgets are pre-programmed to do what they say.
