You're right, Libby56, staff writers (including myself) should blog more often, if not every day. And if writing blogs was all we did here in the newsroom, the blogs would be a lot fresher. That's not an excuse, just a reality.
Which leads me to the point of this blog posting, and that is to let you know that we are in the middle of revising, retooling, reordering the blogs on Buffalonews.com.
Some blogs are going bye-bye. Others will stay where they are. Some are being absorbed into another blog. But the best news is that we have a whole list of new blog topics and bloggers that will debut in September.
Of course, the irony is that because I've been working on that project, and posting other writers' blog entries, I haven't had much time to update this blog.
Just before the new blogs debut, we'll let you know what to expect. Not to worry, though, you'll still be hearing from Anne Neville, though on a new blog that will include "American Idol" plus other pop-culture topics. And the Connors will still guide you through the maze of parenting in the Parent Company blog.
There will be new voices, new topics and new controversies to comment on.
And as for a blog on Niagara County, thanks for the great idea jen14221. I'll add it immediately to the blog wish list.
