I was looking for a blog engine that had the scope of building the site myself, without all the drudgery. The plugins and widgets can really expand what you do with it. It can get broken if you aren't careful, and it does drop you into dealing with HTML and CSS at some point. I always point people to your main st. postings. I think those have been really succesful. I'll have to take a look at the facebook page. No doubt, we need to communicate with each other on these tools.

One problem is that my Main Street Mail newsletters do not crosspost properly to it, which is a real bummer (I need to tell them both). What are the benefits of Word Press? What I have found more successful for my work is setting up a Facebook account. In five months I have over 700 'friends,' many of them local high schoolers, college students, and under-30s, precisely those who don't read the newspaper and the audience we want to reach with several messages: 1. that Pittsfield and the Berkshires has a lot going on and they are invited to be part of it, and 2. if they have left the area, they might want to come back as things are getting lively. The opportunity for communicating and staying in touch is exciting. We are finding more and more younger Pittsfielders coming back to their hometown because of the recent changes. I am also using twitter, not specifically for work, but find there aren't many people in the Berkshires active on it.
