The Blog Peoria Network

The Blog Peoria Project is network of Peoria-area bloggers and citizen journalists who sites promote and link to each others' posts. When you sign up and create your blog, your site is instantly on the blogroll of every other site member. Your posts are promoted instantly on the front page of the Blog Peoria Project. You have access to news and how-to advice with a local slant.

Who who should be making use of this site?

Here are some ideas:

• Professional people: Doctors, lawyers, Realtors, teachers, etc. ought to have their own blogs, if for no other reason than to promote themselves. There's also room for "pundit"-style blogs that focus on the news and issues in these fields.
• Neighborhood activists: Peoria is a collection of neighborhoods. Every neighborhood organization needs to have it's own Website with contact information, as well as a way to point readers to information that can use. Blogs are perfect for this.
• Students: Anyone can have a MySpace or Facebook site. Why not take the blogging experience one step further and try out some citizen journalism, the kind you can't do in your school newspaper?
• Politicians and public servants: Other than going door-to-door, I can't think one single thing that equalizes the relationship between the governors and the governed than when a politician blogs and lets readers respond unedited.
• Businesses: Blogs are a great way for businesses to talk directly to customers.

As always, The Blog Peoria Project is here to lend hands-on support that you won't get from Blog*Spot.
