    I’d love some suggestions for todays Top 5. Send them my way by dumping them into this forum and I’ll copy and paste them into the sidebar. I’ll ask my sister to design a credit for the Top 5 and put your name and link to your website in the Top 5.

    Sure, no problem. So the TOP 5 items will be sometimes linking outside of ThinkNOLA to other sites? Is the idea to credit the other site right in the TOP 5 bar so people don’t have to click the link to know where it goes?

    The Top 5 will always be linking out to other sites.

    The idea is to credit the person who compiles the Top 5. We already have credit for the source, but we need a place to credit who’s maintaining the Top 5. A name an link to a website for who ever is doing the work of writing up those summaries.

    Might John McCain be able to use worded criticsm of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina to effectively distance himself from the Bush administration as some have indicated? Well, if you examine Senator McCain’s actions, the answer is . . .

    One of the main sticking points in the debate over the voucher bill kicking around Baton Rouge relates to the LEAP exemptions granted to private and parochial schools. But who really benefits from all that standardized testing?

    Thank you. Marked up and in the sidebar. I should be able to mark them up faster in the future. Laid out the HTML to that it will be easier to cut and paste. Thank you for laying it out here in the forum. It is much easier to work from this than it is to work from IM.

    Wondering if we should adopt a social bookmarking tool. We could colaborate using Google Notebook or we could use del.icio.us or Ma.gnolia.com.

    I’d like make this second nature for you. What ever bookmarking tool you prefer, just choose a tag that I can follow.
