Well, it looks like I have gotten a few blogs up and running. Of course, there’s this blog: Getting to Know Joe (I’ve been putting things out on this blog since I think around Thanksgiving 2007). Then, there’s the Your Town Alabama blog: mostly, that blog’s about grant opportunities around Alabama, information for the planning community, news about tourism and byways and the like. I really enjoy doing that blog–it gets pretty decent readership, too. And the newest blog is all about rural southwest Alabama called Alabama’s Front Porches (where I grew up). It is particularly targeted towards attracting tourists to the area, so I’ll be highlighting festivals, fun, food and all those types of things along the way. There will, hopefully, be a mix between personal writings about the things to do while in my neck of the woods along with the more standard press release type information. There’s not a lot of information on the blog right now, but I plan to update it regularly, so keep an eye on it!
