Scope and content of this blog

I’m beginning to feel like I am getting the hang of the “content management system” that I use to put words into this blog, but it still seems odd that everything appears in reverse chronological order, and the system has some fancy widgets that I have not yet figured out. (For example, there are still some glitches in the way the page displays in Internet Explorer, but it looks fine when viewed with Firefox.)

Many blogs are “all about me,” but that’s not the purpose of this blog. My focus here is primarily public: local Oak Ridge community public concerns and issues.

The links I’ve chosen to display on the blog sidebar include (1) a sample of area “interest” and “issue” groups that I think have worthwhile related content on their websites (this is not a list of groups I belong to — I belong to several of these groups, but I don’t belong to all of them, I don’t necessarily agree with all of them, and I have not listed sites for every local group I am affiliated with), (2) a selection of other bloggers that often (or sometimes) have timely comments on local public affairs (I include atomictumor, who has often commented on community matters in the past, but currently is pre-occupied with weighty personal matters — I wish his wife a full recovery), (3) area news websites, and (4) official government and government-like sites.

I have several partially written items “filed” away waiting to be shared here. I expect to trickle them out in the coming days and weeks.
