More than a month before TBD launched, it didn't seem that big a deal to set a deadline for inclusion in our TBD Community Network directory.

Our developers had hundreds of pages to build in preparation for launching the site, so we told the blogs and websites we were recruiting that they needed to sign on by June 30 for inclusion in the launch directory. Sites we recruited after that would still have their content aggregated and linked from the day we launched, and we would add them eventually to the directory.

Two problems with that approach:

1. We screwed up and didn't even get all the network members who made the deadline into the directory. Apologies to those who made the deadline and didn't make the directory. Totally our fault.

2. If you launch boasting of more than 120 network members, you ought to show more than 71 in your directory. Even if we had managed to list everyone who made the deadline, the disparity between what we were showing and what we were telling looked silly.

Well, the directory is nearly up to date. It now shows 120 blogs and sites, nearly the number we had at launch, and it should soon reach 132.

Our tech staff is working to change that page so the community engagement staff can enter new network members as we recruit them. And they will have quite a few more to add.

We reached 150 network members Wednesday afternoon, but we still have a long way to go. We are interested in connecting with more blogs covering networks and communities around the metro area. If you know of (or operate) a good blog covering news in a local area, please let us know. We also could use more blogs covering high school and college sports and D.C. United.

TBD received lots of praise from the news media, bloggers and social media before and after our launch. And we patted ourselves on the back a time or two. But we also have spent much of the last 10 days working out bugs in our technology and processes and trying to correct our oversights.

We failed to recognize how important it would be to put all the ABC7 video content in one location. We're still placing those videos throughout the site in the appropriate places, grouped by topic or location. But we will also (very soon, we promise) make all the ABC7 stories available on a single page.

Our Android and iPhone apps have generally drawn praise, but also some jokes about a bug that had us forecasting the chance of rain at levels like 9000% (except, alas, for Wednesday, when that was about right).

We won't detail all the kinks we've worked out since launch (some of them, fortunately, are internal problems that you should not be seeing), but feel free to list more problems in the comments here. We may already be working on them. But if we're not, we soon will be.
