Readers will see changes in the weeks ahead as the Jefferson Park blog evolves.
First up will be a URL change. If all goes well, the new url will simply be JeffersonParkHub.com. The change will be make it easier to get the word out and improve its branding.
The blog now is a single column format. I am kicking around different themes to adopt from Word Press. The new format should continue to be reader friendly and showcase photos, a calendar and other additions.
I am also looking into starting a conversation using Google Wave. The idea is that one day a week, for 15 minutes or so, a new Wave could be focused on Jefferson Park. Are there Google Wavers among Hub readers?
Survey results.
Eight people took the time to respond to the Survey Monkey poll. Tip of the hat. (Except for the jokester who wrote in response to the question: "What would make The JP Hub more helpful to the neighborhood?" "Everyone loves stunts." Very funny.)
Marketing/Awareness
Seven of you heard about it from me. One from Google. Booyaaah.
If you like this blog, please tell your neighbors and others.
Type of stories.
Three types of stories tied with the most votes: In Person, the people profiles; events happening around town; photos.
One person suggested a 'vent' section. I am looking into something like that.
I am keen on developing the In Person features. If you know of someone who you think would be interesting to others, let me know. On photos, there is a Jefferson Park Hub group on Flickr, so send in pictures.
Social media.
The vote was evenly split with a Facebook page. And six people said no to Twitter.
I will be posting at the Jefferson Park Facebook page instead. But if there are Twitter folks out there, find JPHub and follow.
