Donnie, I suggest that you edit the First Great Awakening entry at Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Great_AwakeningRight now it's not that great at first glance and could use some sprucing up. Go fer it!
I'll put this on the backburner for the moment, but it is apparent that much needs to be done on that entry. The bibliography is a good start, but by no means complete. The historical summation is way too generalized and lacking in the consequences of the movement as a trans-colonial event…the first trans-colonial event I might add. Yes, when I have some more time, I will see what I can do to make it better. 😉
Well, remember to seize the day! Otherwise millions of denizens could be wandering through life with blatant misconceptions about the First Great Awakening, leading our world into chaotic madness. 😥 😥Ok, actually I wasn't thinking you need to do anything really in depth at the moment. I was going to start editing at least for clarity, but then it occurred to me that you should add your 2 cents. Incidentally, I've been thinking of revamping my http://www.great-awakening site (probably using a CMS) and adding sections. Of course I would want to include some of your contributions to the site as well...in fact I think using a CMS would enable me to do that better.

It's going to be difficult to build that site with a cms. Such a topic specific site will require quite a bit of research to gather enough materials to keep the site interesting and growing. But if you are going to go with a cms system, it should be blog oriented IMHO. Checkout Blogcms before you go with Joomla or the others. Blogcms has a punbb forum installed in the package with it and a wiki for terms. That's what I used for my DarkLordofConservatism blog (which I don't have time for anymore). You might find it suitable to what you are attempting, and then again you may not. 😀
Phid, I have peeked in to your GA site, do you get much traffic over there?
I don't get a ton of traffic, but it does add up. I don't actively tend to it so it's not like it's much work for me. I believe I've noticed surges in the Fall, likely around the time college American history courses start up.Donnie perhaps you have a different experience with CMS, but I think that something like Mambo would work fine. I'm biased toward it because I've had experience working with it. A blog is something you really have to keep up to be any good, and I'm thinking more of a static resource for the site with the option to easily add articles to it when I want. While I love the idea of a blog I've seen blogs that die out over time, perhaps from fatigue, perhaps from running out of ideas. I say just put the ideas into static pages where people can read information they seek. Besides....to me WCF is almost like a blog, but ever more interactive. 🙂
