Jodie Rivera, 24, posts spoofs and comedy sketches on her own YouTube channel, called Venetian Princess. Through YouTube’s reporting tool, she discovered that viewership of her videos typically peaks on Wednesday evenings. […]

Daniel Randolph at Loras College writes about the launch of LCTV13.com, the web site for the TV station at Loras College in Iowa. They’re using a WordPress install. You can read the details (and a gentle slam at our “print-centric” focus around here) at Daniel’s blog.
