Images

I think that a blog for Habitat for Humanity lends itself toward a more image intensive layout. You would want to include photos of projects that are in progress, and past projects as well. I also envision photos of different work groups, included in posts from these groups. For example, if the local Business Professional Women works on a house, I would imagine that they would take pictures for their own purposes. They could then include these images in their posts about their experiences. Photos taken by the family that building the home would also be a nice addition to the blog.

Blueprints from homes could also be included in the blog. This would allow those who are interested in buying a Habitat home the opportunity to see what other families have done. There could also be calendars showing the progress of projects, and when work is scheduled to take place. I also think that we could include slide shows showing the progression of a home, from ground breaking to handing over the keys. Even video clips could be used, especially if the Noble County Habitat is mentioned in the local news. While I do not have any images from a Noble County Habitat project, here are some examples, culled from other Habitat blogs and websites:
