Ed Cone gives City Council candidate Janet Wallace encouragement and input on her blog:

" ... You have to make it interesting and give us reasons to visit repeatedly.

"Link out to draw traffic in. Let us get to know you. Write in your own voice. Tell us where you've been each day -- show us, with pictures that you post to the blog."

Cone sighs: "I'm waiting for a local candidate to really get it right with a blog."

Ed has a point. On the other hand, you've got to give Wallace credit: Her record of community involvement is impressive and she provides more than thorough information.

She addresses a number of issues in great detail, among them incentives and Project Homestead. She also includes in her personal profile her Zodiac sign (Taurus) and her Zodiac year (Rooster).

Now we won't have to ask in the editorial board interview.
