How do I.....?
You wouldn't believe how many times a day I am asked "How do I...?"
Well, Tomorrow, (and every Tuesday afternoon for the foreseeable future), I am going to try and provide the answers as I start weekly web training sessions.
No questions will be turned away.
The questions I expect to get tomorrow are, "How do I post a story on the web site?, and How do I get a photo on the site?". I could get some questions about how to edit a story, how to delete an inappropriate comment, how to set up a blog, or maybe how to get a story onto another page?
Well, it should be interesting.

Complaints
I guess today was complaint day.
I received a complaint from a reader about a story that we posted (and published) over the weekend that this reader felt was inaccurate, and I received a complaint from another reader that the comments being left on the message boards were wrong.
In both cases, there was nothing wrong with the items posted- rather the people who complained didn't like what was being written.
If you disagree with articles that we post, feel free to post your comments at the end of the story. If you don't like comments being left by other readers, feel free to voice your objections on the same thread as theirs.
There are two sides to every issue. Just because you don't agree with what is being written doesn't mean it is wrong.
But whether you agree or disagree, discussing the issues is surely better than silencing people, isn't it?

Bloggers wanted
We are looking for some new bloggers for our site and thought we'd ask for your help.
Here are some of the topics we'd like to start blogs on: Commuters, Local Night Life, and a blog on College Life.
If you think you have what it takes to become one of newest bloggers, send me an email with your ideas and maybe we'll be reading your thoughts soon!

Offerman slideshow
Did you see the Offerman slideshow that we published on our site this week?
This became an extremely popular item as many web sites posted a link to the slideshow on their sites. We were receiving so much traffic to the site at one point that our servers were being overwhelmed and we had to limit access to the photos for a while.
Access is back now so if you haven't been able to see the show yet, you can now check it out.
