Scripps launches social login, publishing
Visitors to Scripps' newspaper websites that also have a presence on Facebook, Yahoo!, Google, Twitter or OpenID can now use those profile credentials to register and log in.
And if they've connected either Facebook or Yahoo! accounts, they can socialize their comments by posting to both a Scripps' website and their social network.
There's the obvious user benefits -- use the profile you use the most, and the ease of sharing commentary -- as well as returns to Scripps for increased user engagement, audience data and more exposure for content.

How to add the Facebook 'like' button
UPDATE: This entry left out a critical piece of markup to get the Like button working in Internet Explorer. Just change your HTML tag the following:

And despite the naysayers -- what does it really mean to "like" something -- adding the ability to like things to your site will help get your content into the Stream.
The launch of social plugins at this year's f8 event made it easy to add this button. But like most things, there's the easy way and the right way.

Class blogs can mar students' Web history
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a useful technique for any journalist to learn. It helps users find your content through search engines such as Google or Bing, and visually with keywords they recognize when scanning a list of headlines.
But there are situations where SEO can work against you as one student pointed out during my presentation on social media at the recent ICONN conference at the University of Tennessee.
