What we’re reading

We at D3football.com know we are not the only ones writing interesting stories about Division III football, and even if we had a full-time staff of writers we couldn’t corner the market on everything interesting.

I and Keith McMillan and Gordon Mann especially come across many stories we could never hope to write or do justice, since we all have “real” jobs and such. But we haven’t had an easy way to bring all of those stories to you. Aside from the occasional blog post about a story, which takes more time than we usually have to devote, most just get filed away in the cobwebs of our brains.

However, we’re about to change all that, thanks to a new Web site for journalists called Publish2. One of the features of the site is a tool I’m using to create a feed of stories that I’ve tagged as being of interest. You can always find it on the right-hand rail here in the Daily Dose, and we’ll work on getting it incorporated into our already cluttered front page as well.

The feed is labeled “What we’re reading” and contains stories we’ve tagged that are of interest to us, along with a quick summary of why they might be of interest to you. Currently that box contains stories about what a couple of prominent D-III players are doing after graduation, a feature on incoming College Football Hall of Famer Jim Ballard, a trend story and a player profile. You can see what else is in there beyond the five most recent by clicking on the link at the bottom of the box.

Enjoy!
