Preble News & Opinion (Old Version)

WELCOME to the NEW PrebleNY.com web site!

As you can see I’ve made a lot of changes and I’m just getting started. I won’t make any rash promises but you can expect to see more new things in the days/weeks to come.

What’s new?
I’m now using blogs, short for weblog technology to maintain and update these pages. To you this means that there will be more frequent and plentiful postings. For me it means a great savings in time to make those posts and I can make them from anywhere. This may not mean much to you but it makes my life a lot easier. Posting’s that took 15 minutes the old way will now take just a click of the mouse. Even easier then sending an email. I have to admit I’ve gotten lazy over the last six months updating the reports of meetings and late breaking news. Now because it is so easy for me I will be posting much more often, perhaps several times a day.

Currently there are three blogs on the site. This one, the main page is for news about Preble exclusively. Town Board meeting reports and general news.

“About the Preble NY web site” has details about the site and news of changes to the site.

“Not Safe For Democrats” is a place for me to express my conservative republican views. As the name implies, democrats and liberals should avoid this page. It gives me a place to vent and to provide links and information to others of like thinking. I’ve wanted to do this for over a year.

Using this technology also means that I can add a new blog at will. If something comes up such as another truck stop I can create a blog for that in under an hour. I am really excited about the ease and flexibility this affords us.

What happened to the old site? It’s currently unavailable because I have to make some changes to incorporate it into the new format. The pages are still here; they are just not linked from the new site yet. They still show up in search engines and can be accessed that way. I have no date for re-linking it. It is to be called “Good Old Daze” and an unlinked name is holding a space for it on the left.

For more details see "About this site" on the right.

I hope you enjoy the NEW PrebleNY.com website.
