The Journal Returns To Web
By RICK GUNTER
CREWE, VA -- There is hardly a week that passes around our little shop that a caller will ask us if we have a web site.
We once did. But it had a sudden death for reasons that still are not all too clear to me and that I will not get into in this space this week.
The better news is that The Journal has returned to the World Wide Web with another site. It is a blog, but over time it will contain some items that have been published in the newspaper and some material that will not be published.
As with our first web site here, the newest site is not intended to enable you to skip a given week of The Journal. The web space simply provides us with more flexibility in reporting and commenting on the news.
Just as we exercise with print edition, we will strive to report the truth on the web site.
The site remains a developing entity, but the first posts were placed on it over the weekend.
Internet surfers calling up the site or otherwise stumbling into it eventually will find ads on the site. There already is a public service ad promoting the effort of former presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina.
We hope -- again in time -- to find some local advertisers who want to promote their goods or services literally to a worldwide audience through our little site.
If you have a computer, I hope you will call up the site and put it in your browser's favorites.
If we continue with the site, I plan to provide some breaking news stuff on it. If will enable me not have to go an entire week between editions before I report some stories.
The site's Internet address is this:
cb-journal-standard.blogspot.com
The "Standard" in the title diferentiates the site from the print edition. In years past, many American newspapers had the word "Standard" in their banners, and I like the word.
Anyway, we are excited about this addition to our news and information gathering and hope you, our advertisers, readers, and advertisers find your way to our site.
