Wow--I just set up a gmail account and a blog! I have to admit I was not really looking forward to this experience but so far it has been easy and even fun. I can use this to help customers and to communicate. My son writes a Reader Blog on the Seattle P-I website which I love to read. His style is a cross between a nagging mother and Hunter S. Thompson. When I figure out how to link to it, I'll do that to promote it!
I live in Kirkland and there is no good news source any more that covers Kirkland, believe it or not. We used to have a pretty good monthly community newspaper. It was bought by another company and now is pretty much a rag for local realtors and developers. If you want to read ads for McMansions, fine.
I subscribe to the P-I at home (of course) and they don't cover Eastside news much. Maybe the Times does a better job. The Eastside Journal went out of business over a year ago.
My point is that I have thought about starting a blog for my neighborhood. There is a neighborhood association which doesn't communicate much about neighborhood issues other than at bi-monthly meetings which aren't very well-attended.
Let's see if I do it.
Just some personal musings on how I might blog!
