Yesterday I told you about an idea I’ve had and thoughts are still coming together. This is just a very brief update.

As I said yesterday, I’ve secured the domain BlogNewsCoop.com which is going to get some major work done this weekend. Of course a site called Blog News Co-op needs one very important thing — a blog. It has one now. You can see the beginning at BlogNewsCoop.com/blog/.

This morning I wrote:

Bloggers should be a natural resource. Why?

• There are thousands of us. We are in every part of the country and many parts of the world.
• We have a wide spectrum of backgrounds, interests, and areas of expertise.
• While nearly all bloggers work at something other than blogging for their 9-5, not all 9-5’s take place from 9-5, if you know what I mean.
• One thing that most bloggers have in common is that they like to write. That doesn’t make us all good writers, but it’s a start.
• If all goes according to plan (once there is more of a plan than what exists now) we will be able to cover a wide range of topics, stories, geographic areas, and more.

The blog is not going to be the location of the news. It will be a place for information about the site and the co-op.

Stay tuned, send your thoughts and ideas, tell your friends. That’s not too much to ask, is it?
