Okay, it is Tuesday and the month of August draws one day closer to being over.
It's amazing how fast this year has gone by. Kids are back in school and summer will be over sometime soon.
Derik's head is doing much better. It's still scratched up but not nearly as bad as we feared after his dreaded scooter accident. He got to stay home from school for a couple of days, so he was probably willing to trade a little pain.
I went with GoDaddy.com to get a real web site. Got the site name www.heaveneronline.com. It's not up and running, but hope to have it online soon. This will replace the one that has been hosted by blogger.
This can turn out to be a pretty cool thing if enough people get interested in it. That remains to be seen. I do believe this is the way all print media will operate in the future. With newspapers, the main costs are printing and delivery.
I won't have these problems. All I have to do is pay for the hosting. The only drawback is not everybody has internet access, but for those who do, it really beats a traditional newspaper.
After the scrimmage last Thursday, I had a picture posted and story online within thirty minutes of getting home. If somebody waited until the local paper came out, they would have to wait a week.
Currently, we have several interesting links, including weather, school, community schedule, classifieds and much more. Since I am working full time, I won't be able to cover all the events in town. The way to overcome that is to have people submit stories. We'll have to cover some things ourselves, but if Joe Blow is having something, he can send me a story and I can post it.
We even have a forum so people can post messages back and forth, just like they do on a lot of other sites. So far, we have five people signed up.
If this makes money, great. I'm not going into this expecting to make a lot of money off it, this is more of a community service that is truly needed.
