9 [Done] Launch Out Blogs for IIT, Institute, Chapters, etc.

DONE.

(Sept 13, 2003: The blogs for the IItization and From the Institute site have been functioning for a while. A handful chapter blogs are already functional using the process outlined in another goal.)

Now that the multiple blogs architecture is in place and already functional for this "How Can I Help?" blog, it is time to roll out the other blogs.

The first step involves creating a blog with templates -- the index template and stylesheet is shared with the parent, that is the main ITBHU.org blog -- and the local modules that customize the layout.

Evolve the templates to support a top navigation bar below the maroon/yellow-beige band -- navigating categories within a blog, as opposed to the existing navigation of the IIT, Alumni, Affiliates, etc. blogs themselves.

There are already hooks for PreBlogIntroText within the "content" container but before the "blog" begins.

This navigation bar should either anchor to the main category archive for the hyperlink or, for a site like the ToDo to the listing within the page.

Define the category archive main template that has a standard two column look and feel similar to the blog main index but that supports navigation within a category.

We are looking for an owner for this who can quickly come up to speed on MT blog and templates. Thanks!!
