Welcome to the blog

A few weeks ago, a small email list was started to keep residents living near the Traders Point area apprised of various pressing neighborhood issues. That list has grown rapidly and will become progressively more unwieldy as names continue to be added. As the list grows so does the volume of email; it's just a matter of time before the flow of information becomes overwhelming.

This blog is an attempt to manage that information. At least initially, a few individuals -- let's just call them "editors" -- will be in charge of generating posts to the blog. Any reader will be able to comment on the posts or on other comments.

Useful links will be available in the sidebar, as will the archives of past discussions.

Bear in mind that this forum is posted on the World Wide Web, and anyone who happens upon the URL will have the same access to the posts and archives as those of us who live in the neighborhood. This isn't meant to instill any paranoia, but to point out that this is essentially a public forum -- so don't convey any information that you wouldn't want to be common knowledge.

That said, welcome to the blog. I hope you find it useful!

If you have any suggestions, please direct them to webmaster@historictraderspoint.org .

Just testing here. Changed the word "comments" to "grist" -- hope that's not too obscure.

Mark, is this blog for any topic of interest to Traders Point residents such as tree trimming and schools or just history? Also, will you be moving over all prior emails on the topic(s)?

Yes, any topic of interest.

I wasn't going to move the emails. We can establish those threads by posting the next meeting dates dealing with the tree trimming and school location issues, then going from there.
