New Blogger, New Bytelife
The transition to New Blogger format is complete, so everyone should now be able to post here.
As a team blog, the (New) Carbondaley Dispatch experiment failed for several reasons.... 1) Peter G. resumed his original blog, with a new name and renewed dedication; 2) My own posts tended to dominate the Dispatch, 3) Other local bloggers, like Cindy, Shawn, and others continued posting their own local observations on their own blogs. . . . Which is great.
But I still hanker after a blog that brings together different voices, like the Peoria and Champaign blogs, for instance. Illini Pundit is doing something nice with Drupal.
Meanwhile, the Shawnee Net "Drupal" News & Views portal, has a convenient blogging feature that everyone can use.
So, I hope that Tom, just bill, Lucy is Lefty, and other keen observers of the Carbondale scene will chime in here or there. Keeping it local.
Invitations to local bloggers and neophytes to join the Carbondale Bytelife Team Blog.
If you want to participate, but didn't get an "invitation," send an email request to Bytelife.

Hey Dave, this is nice work and is appreciated greatly. I enjoy reading these posts and keeping somewhat current on Southern Illinois and what folks "down there" are thinking.
What's the deal with moderating comments, though? I am hesitant to even submit comments because the lag time between submitting and publishing can kind of kill my urge to banter back and forth.
If there's a chance you would consider trying a non-moderated blog, I would post more.
