Now that we’ve kicked out the riff-raff (spam blogs, spammers), the Blog Peoria Project is down to a core group of bloggers. We’ve got room for more.
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. But There’s also room for “pundit”-style blogs that focus on these news 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.
As always, The Blog Peoria Project is here to lend hands-on support that you won’t get from Blog*Spot.
