  1. Thanks for the link & good adjective (“serial”).

    There are at least 2 more of these neighborhood/community blogs in the works in Richmond, which’ll put us at 10. What is interesting is that 1 of the 2, for the Fulton area, is being put together on grant money to VCU with the specific initiative to empower citizen journalism. This site will move away from having one or a few folks posting and try to open up who is getting the posts onto the site.

    My experience in Richmond with these sites and in Charlottesville with cvillenews.com has been tremendous. In response to the positive community response city-wide to our first community blog here, I have been doing the installs for the other sites for free. I would consider doing the same for anyone interested out side of Richmond that would want to set up a community site.
