Monthly progress report for October 06

What I have done for GLK beside podcasting in October 2006:

I have created two blogs for graphic warnings, www.graphicwarnings.org (in English) www.nuigrav.org (in French), and reorganized/updated the gallery devoted to graphic warnings.

I have created a blog for antismoking videos, www.glkvideo.com, and reorganized/updated the gallery devoted to antismoking videos

I have assessed the state of the multimedia center and offered a series of suggestions (see the blog that contains them at http://blogsofbainbridge.typepad.com/globalink

I have created a blog about the WHO candidates

I have created a special album of New Yorker Cartoons devoted to smoking (a potential source of images for the GLK album) and looked at ways to reorganize the management of pictures. I have created a special album for cartoons and a blog (the blog is not yet updated daily).

I have selected a series of antismoking videos available on YouTube after looking at the 300+ listed under various key words.

I have shared suggestions about how to develop programs towards Africa and a workshop in Thailand.
