Blogging Forgottonia dot com
I bit the bullet and spent the money to buy my own domain. Blogging Forgottonia is now officially housed at bloggingforgottonia.com. I did this in part to encourage myself to start blogging again. It was $25 for a year through WordPress, so it’s not exactly a titanic financial sacrifice. Still, I paid for the domain, so I better make some use of it, eh?
Updates on Local Newspapers
Matt Hutton, editor of the Daily Review Atlas, announced recently that the Review Atlas, the Galesburg Register-Mail and the Macomb Journal would all be printed in Galesburg instead of Peoria. This will result in some minor cosmetic changes to the papers. Hutton also announced that the Review Atlas will begin charging for obituaries.
I’m glad to hear that the local papers will be printed closer to home, but I’m more interested in hearing the story behind the “For Sale” sign on the Review Atlas building. Still no official word on that front.
Another local media change is the revamp of the Galesburg.com blog page. I’m not sure when this happened, and it may have been a while ago. The old page was so antiquated & unappealing that I rarely visited it. The new version is certainly a big step up.
New Years Resolution
Blog more – at least once per week. Maybe then I’ll get actual people hitting my site instead of just random spambots.
Blagosphere?
The Peoria Journal Star is renewing their education blog after 2 years. The new blog will be called “School Daze” and will be written by Dave Haney. I thought this was a good bit of news, since I enjoyed Claire Jellick’s ”School Crossing” blog.
The online article reporting on the new blog did have a funny little blooper, though. Instead of saying that Dave Haney was entering the BLOGosphere, the article stated that he was entering the “blagosphere.” Heh. I saw fit to define that term.
Merry Christmas!
I better make a New Year’s resolution to blog more. My traffic is down to single digit hits per day! Oh well … if anyone is out there, have a wonderful Christmas!
