New features on the Delta News Web

There are two new features here on the Delta News Web; one obvious and one hidden. The first is a feature called "blogs."

As you may know, the Delta News Web is using a blog format for the Community News section. It has allowed us to more easily post news, and it has allowed us to invite others to post information. You will be seeing more of this in the months ahead, I believe.

But there is more online "news" in Delta Junction than just the Delta News Web. There are a number of bloggers who are adding to the online conversation. We want to encourage this as a way of providing additional insight into what is going on in the Delta area. You'll notice near the top of most pages our new navigation bar. In it is an even newer link, "blogs."

Right now we have three blogs represented, one from a Delta area resident, and two from former Delta residents; one of which is yours truly. We know there are other blogs being written by Delta people, and we would like to add them to this page as well. We are particularly looking for blogs that talk about life, news and information about Delta Junction. Technically, we need a blog that has an RSS or Atom feed that we can use.

The other change is that it is now possible to more easily comment on news items here in the community news. Down in the lower right hand corner of each article is a link that says "# comments". If you have a comment to make about a news article, you may post it there. Comments are all subject to moderation, so you won't see your comment immediately, but it will show up eventually.

So, if you are a blogger, and would like to have your blog appear on the blog page, let us know. If you have comments, please make them!
