[Web4lib] web site PR sections

Hi Karen,

We use a Wordpress blog to publicize events.
http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/library_news/ 

Our library director and an editor can login to the application and
enter events.  The Wordpress interface is easy to use and we have not
experienced any problems.  

Wordpress also produces an RSS feed which we can pop into our home page.
Podcasts would also work.  Our university system, is developing a portal
for students and staff which we aim to populate with our RSS feeds.  We
will also work on offering the library's audio tour via podcast.

Hi all- I'm interested in creating a "public relations" section within
our library website which would include press releases, videos,
podcasts, etc. promoting the library.

Any recommendations for notable websites with these features would be
much appreciated!

TIA, Karen Davis
