Are there any kind PADS members lurking on this site with experience blogging? We are learning on the job and would really appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide generating content, stimulating discussion, and/or promoting this site.
We are using this blog as an experiment. We hope that people will use it as a tool to carry on conversation in between meetings – yet so far this has not happened. Part of this is our fault – we have not “announced” the blog anywhere but our web site. Part of it seems to reflect the general hesitance people may feel about becoming more actively involved in the neighborhood association. So here’s the deal, we’ll keep the blog up through the end of the summer and if it proves interesting, lively, and effective at meeting our shared goal of increasing access to information we’ll keep it up – if it remains silent we’ll cut it loose. We are open to suggestions – please share your thoughts with us about the downtown Pawtucket, PADS, or any other neighborhood related item.
