And away we go
Welcome to my weblog. Its purpose is to engage you in public conversations about the newspaper. The key word is public. Readers have several ways to reach out to us now, but they are all two-way streets between the writer and the paper.
This is the first method that encourages dialogue back and forth between me and our readers in full view of anyone visiting the site.
Shoot me a question, a comment, a concern. I'll try to address it. I'll also write about decisions we make, whether it is to change the front pages or the comics pages. (I guarantee you the comics elicit more fury.)
The one area off-limits in my commentary is editorial. I have nothing to do with the editorial page or the op-ed page or the opinions therein. If you have a pressing question, I'll try to get an answer to it, but I won't debate the opinions.
This is the third blog the News & Record is hosting by staff members. You can find the others - The Lex Files by staff writer, editor and longtime blogger Lex Alexander, and Sports Extra by staff writers Rob Daniels, Jeff Carlton and Jim Young. Both are displayed prominently at the News & Record.
OK. I'm climbing on this rocket ship. Let's see where it goes.

Great start. When I just noticed on n/r page (my home page) these links I wondered how long they had been there...turns out not long. Steve Blackwood always reads M.Trail so he told me a while back. Shoe is my favorite. Maybe because he and I have desktops just covered up. Have a great day, Sam

Welcome John... now if I could just get a recipricol link to my site.... Remember, a link is not an endorsement, it's just the blogger way.
I promise to quit accusing the N&R of resisting being dragged into the 1990's.

Thanks, David. You'd think the long story we wrote about you would be enough! :) The blog links are coming.
