Also, if anyone sees anything pertaining to the subject of newspapers and the web let me know. I know a ton of news pops up daily.

Join the club! And it's not just the newspaper industry. (sigh)

The blog is easy on the eyes, which is a good thing. A lot of blogs and websites are impossible to read because of dark colors and weird fonts. The lay out works, and you write well. Good luck with your new venture :smile:

Now what does this have to do with this forum again? I say, let's lock this useless thread ! :wink:

Uh, yeah, that could be a full time job :wink: but I'll keep that in mind.

You know our San Francisco local paper (San Francisco Chronicle) owned by Hearst is not sure whether they will survive right now.

That's kind of a problem because there is no other local paper. The Chronicle already survived the Examiner and if it goes under, that'll be it. No local San Francisco paper, at all. :frown: We'll see what happens, I guess.
