« Hello | Main | The Future » April 20, 2006Ch...Ch...ChangesMore than a year ago, I created a website, VolPols.com, to offer every member of the Tennessee legislature a free, supported, fully-functional blog site, and the requisite training to go with it. Although I made the offer repeatedly to all members of the legislature, and specifically asked several Democratic and Republican members to start blogs on the site, none did. Today, there are no more blogging Tennessee legislators than there were a year ago. State Rep. Stacey Campfield has a blog which has frequent updates. State Sen. Roy Herron has a blog which doesn't. I will be taking VolPols.com offline but retaining the domain name while I search for another way to pursue the project, revamp it, or find a wholly different use for the domain name. Your thoughts welcomed... I also own TennesseeVoices.com, which I intended to use for a grassroots journalism project. At this time, I won't be doing that. As for the blog you're reading right now, BillHobbs.com, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I doubt I'll be doing much political reporting and commentary here in the near future. Right now my focus is on consulting work, specifically in the area of online public relations especially involving blogs and the blogosphere. This site may become my digital calling card on that front. In the meantime, one link today: Randy Neal, formerly known as South Knox Bubba, has done some useful journalism about, well, the future of online journalism. Also, I guess This explains that.
