What do you look for in a “daily read” blog?

 

Recently, I have been reading many articles about blogs. Did you know an average top blogs lifecycle is only 33 months? I was taken aback when I saw how fast and popular this site became. When asked why I wanted to create this site, the answer was simple. “It was needed.” What is your thought on the site, why do you keep coming back. What would you like to see. We are always looking to improve.
 
While I have seen how hard it can be to write daily posts, it also is an interesting experience. I have spent many hours visiting blogs all over the country and especially our neighborhood to see some of the comments regarding this blog. One thing I noticed is that most of the other blogs were created to view the authors point, not necessarily offer a forum that allows dialogue and conversation. From the beginning this blog was created to be an outlet that would allow all Seminole Heights residents a place to come visit, speak out and encourage change. While I work hard to try to find topics that interest all, I also encourage each and everyone of you to submit topics that you would like to have discussed. As the blog was created to protect anonymity, your name, email, etc will remain anonymous if you submit a topic. The only indication will be “From an Email” I will include my viewpoint and open YOUR topic up for discussion. Its your turn, Speak out.

Email your topics to: seminoleheightstampa@gmail.com

We want your feedback!

Ok, the blog has had a full month of activity. As I said in the beginning, this blog is “your blog”. Therefore, I would like to hear from you. What do you think so far? What would you like to see? Have anything you would like to see discussed/covered? I am sure the site will be constantly evolving. So from time to time, I will be soliciting for your ideas and input. Speak out!

Blog sets new record!

Over the past few weeks our blog has been gaining momentum, spreading the news, and creating dialogue among neighbors! For the most part is has been constructive, productive and very interesting. Today, for the 7th day in a row, we have exceeded traffic count of 200 page views per day. For a site less than one month old, I feel like this is sound footing to build something that can make a difference in our neighborhood.

Thanks to all who have been visiting, commenting and participating in our daily discussions.

Upcoming Blog Changes.

As Promised, the blog will constantly be changing as a result of YOUR request. I did get a very important request so I thought I would address it publicly. The email was stating that the recent comments were very hard to read.

I have been working diligently to try to get this fix. I have submitted a work ticket to have assistance in getting this resolved, however, service has been a bit slow. I will continue to work and hopefully have this fixed soon.

Thanks for continuing to check it out! Keep our comments and suggestions coming.
