A few housekeeping items
Hey Nats fans--just wanted to call your attention to a few new bells and whistles around here, and get your take on the best time for a live chat in the next day or so:
--First, MASN is updating my landing page--and a name for the blog is coming within the next few days. It's looking like one of the ones mentioned in the suggestions you gave back here, but that will be official in the near future.
--My new RSS feed is available here. I know a couple of you were looking for that, and I'm happy to tell you it's up and running now. So if you use Google Reader or some other RSS reader, add that to your list of feeds.
--Lastly, I'm planning to do a live chat either this afternoon or tomorrow, and wanted to get a feel for your schedules: Is this afternoon too soon, or can we pull something together for, say, 3:00? Post your thoughts in the comments section, and I'll set it up.

This afternoon is challenging but not impossible. Tomorrow may be worse for me, so I'd say go for it.
I'm looking forward to your first "School of Ben" posting...
Ben, love the idea of a chat - any day and anytime. One request - I follow a few of the sports chats over at the WaPo and at the Nats site. I consider the chat an opportunity to have access with someone that you don't get a lot of access with - and therefore, it bugs me when the moderator selects easy questions - or questions from people who obviously aren't following the news.
My request: can we keep these chats kind of at a higher level? That is, let's skip questions that can be answered if the questioned spent 5 minutes at nationals.com or baseball-reference.com.... Thanks.

Thanks, Mark. I'll do my best. I'm generally interested in keeping things at a higher level of discourse, too, so I understand what you're getting at. Talk to you at 3.
Ben
