Rick -

the blog could be set up with several levels of authority or participation. There could be more than one administrator, who would have complete access, then there could be authors who could submit their own entries, etc. To comment you'd have to register, and the comments would be moderated by whoever authored that particular entry.

I wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel, so if, for instance, you would write an entry it could link to your blog. But there might be those who don't already have a blog that could use this as their platform.

The main thing is that it would be a place for serious, thoughtful, and well researched information on Parkinson's from the patient point of view.

We are going ahead with the Alpha site.
