Who wouldn’t Agree?
The diversity and the level of interest has picked up considerably here on the website. It’s easy to see why too. The addition of fresh new ideas from Charles Burke has helped a lot. Now let me say that more diversity can only make this an even better site to visit.
We can use more folks writing, taking pictures and sharing their experiences. You wouldn’t have to do it on a large scale. Write as often as you like with no deadlines and follow a couple of easy rules about content. Want to learn how? Now that we have a computer lab it will be easy to show you how just as soon as we get our new internet broadband connection up and running. I foresee a class or two on writing for the website and how to build your own website.
When we have a list of reporters beside Charles and me on the left side of the page .. all writing and sharing this will be a terrific website.
One thing for everyone to consider is this log is the never ending story of our little community on the Oregon Coast. Someday your great, great grandchildren will read about your life here and what we did.. What we thought.. Who we were. Already our Archives (everything ever written on the website) stretches back over 3 years. You can access them on the left side of the page. In the last year or so, most of the pictures are also being stored in the archives.. They will be able to see what we looked like and how we dressed. You probably have nothing like this for your family extending into the future.
As time moves on we hope to pass this site on to another caretaker who will watch over it until they pass it on to another future resident. Come join Charles and me write the history of a small community on a hill in Newport, Oregon.
Send either of us an email at the addresses on the left side of the page. Or get ready to sign up for classes.
