If you are new here, and you probably are, here is what I wrote about this site:

I’m looking for original reporting by bloggers to use in a shared setting. That’s why our tag line is “by bloggers, for bloggers.” I’m looking for bloggers who want to contribute stories that other bloggers can use and link to. The only criteria is that it has to be original reporting rather than commenting on the writings of someone else. It doesn’t have to be a big national story. Coverage of a local council race or regional news story, interviews with local politicians or celebrities, and even your personal coverage of local events are all the type of stories I’m looking for.

That sums it up pretty well. For more background you can read here, here, and here.

It’s time to get moving with this project. Tell me how you can contribute. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
