As the tester at my second<\/em> failed attempt to get my driver’s license said many years ago, I am easily “attracted and distracted”. That, and the fact that I at one point drove on the sidewalk, no doubt contributed to my poor marks.<\/p>\n

On any given day, my To Do list would crush a Hummer. I have more lofty goals than I have time, but at least I am trying. I’m admittedly not a pioneer, but I am an aggregator. I read, listen, learn, and then assimilate the information and ideas in an ongoing attempt to build a better mousetrap.<\/p>\n

This week, I owe my inspiration (okay, distraction) to Project Blogger<\/a> and to Phil Hoover. Like a lot of you, I have been watching the Project Blogger apprentices at work, and have filed away a hundred good ideas. In particular, Greg’s insanely great idea<\/a> fell under my “Why didn’t I<\/em> think of that?” category. The hyperlocal or neighborhood blog<\/a> is a concept which I have since been toying with, but I hadn’t quite mentally worked through the process. The problem for me was two-fold.<\/p>\n

Time – There is never enough of it. I try to contribute here, and I have my own blog to feed. I also have to manage a static website (not to mention a real estate business). Duplication – I am currently knee deep in cross-contamination. I link from here to there to here and back to the other. Too much synergy, to use a word from the corporate muckity-muck dictionary, risks confusion, lack of focus, and ultimately a lost audience.<\/p>\n

Enter Phil Hoover. In a series of emails, Phil has been keeping me posted on his efforts to expand his blogging efforts into the hyperlocal arena. We know him from his Boise Blog<\/a>, more recently from his Eagle Real Estate Blog<\/a>, and now, at the subdivision level, from the Brookwood Subdivision Blog<\/a>. And I think he may have built, at least in concept, a better mousetrap.<\/p>\n

Static websites and the dodo bird: One is endangered and the other extinct. I suspect I won’t get much argument from this audience of bloggers and Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
