Back in February, we launched this blog as the “President’s Blog” and featured the many travels of our National President, Bill Fuchs.  We found that it was difficult to provide constant updates with just one writer on the blog and have decided to make a few changes.  The “President’s Blog” is now the new “DANK National Blog”, but those of you that have enjoyed Bill’s travel adventures need not worry…they’re still going to be a part of this blog!

What’s New…

Frequent Updates

Since the launch of the blog back in February, there just weren’t enough updates to keep our readers coming back.  That will hopefully change with this new format as we are going to have multiple contributers that can add new content.  The goal is to have multiple blog posts a week.  So check back frequently for the latest news or take advantage of our RSS Feed if you prefer that method of staying up to date.

More Contributers

As stated previously, in order to keep the blog active, we need more people contributing.  DANK National President, Bill Fuchs, will still be contributing and will continue detailing his worldly adventures as a new feature called “Captain Bill’s Travels.”

Some other postings will include updates on DANK’s presence on the web, news on what is happening with DANK National and it’s chapters, articles that didn’t make it in the ‘German-American Journal’, and more fun bits of information to brighten up your day.

Forum Integration

Due to similarities between posts that may appear both on the blog and our discussion forum, we will provide links to the corresponding topic on the forum.  You can leave comments on this blog but some topics spark more discussion/interaction which our forum is better suited for.

A Fresh New Look

You may have noticed that the look of this blog received a major overhaul.  It now has a cleaner layout and interface that allows us to provide more media and features into our posts.  Also, for those of you that are into social networking (Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc) there are icons at the end of each post that allow you to share our blog topics.  Plus, you can see the latest Twitter activity from DANK on the sidebar of the blog.

These are just a few of the changes that are happening to this blog and even more are on their way.  Check back soon as we will be introducing our new contributers to the blog.
