What else should people know about your site?
The community news source is a one-woman operation started as a graduate project. For 6+ years I posted everyday (!) and researched and reported community news. For the last year the site is more of a community bulletin board. I added a Facebook page page for sports and past events. I added a calendar for easy event searches.
