Whoa … so it’s been a while since we wrote a blog post on football, I know, but wanted to let people know we haven’t given up on it.

There’s been a bunch of little initiatives in the works here and I wanted to let you know what we’ve been up to.

We’ve been building out the D3sports.com Network a little bit at a time. A year ago, Jim Dixon brought his existing baseball site into the network and D3baseball.com was born. This year we’re going to have a similar situation as Jim Matson (known as Hiker Jim on our message boards) is bringing his love of soccer to the network and will be running D3soccer.com. (Contact me if you are interested in joining the D3soccer news team, by the way.)

We’ve added a jobs site, replacing the job boards that we had before. Our goal is to eventually have listings for all sports, as well as administrative jobs such as AD and SID positions. If you have a job to post, click here. We won’t be listing just Division III jobs, but any job that a D-III coach or player could reasonably aspire too, so we welcome high school jobs and college jobs from other divisions.

And we’ve made some interim upgrades to D3sports.com, which encompasses the top news stories from all of our sites. We’ve also added RSS feeds for all of our sites, which you can access from D3sports.com. That will deliver the latest Division III stories straight to your RSS reader. Here’s the link to the D3football.com RSS feed. In order to make room for this D3sports move, we moved the message boards to their own domain: D3boards.com.

Plus, we’ve been slowly but surely putting the football schedules into the system and we’re about two-thirds of the way there.

So while we haven’t been blogging, we’ve still been working. Sorry for the silence.
