Sure there’s not much here now, but within the year this will be the largest source for original reporting from bloggers, for bloggers, on the internet. It’s a lofty goal, but one that should be easily met — there aren’t a lot of sources out there.
And that’s just not right.
Bloggers should be a natural resource. Why?
- There are thousands of us. We are in every part of the country and many parts of the world.
- We have a wide spectrum of backgrounds, interests, and areas of expertise.
- While nearly all bloggers work at something other than blogging for their 9-5, not all 9-5′s take place from 9-5, if you know what I mean.
- One thing that most bloggers have in common is that they like to write. That doesn’t make us all good writers, but it’s a start.
- If all goes according to plan (once there is more of a plan than what exists now) we will be able to cover a wide range of topics, stories, geographic areas, and more.
For now, this is pretty much a test post. More later.
Comment test.
