Hey all,
I've recently been sucked into the online community of Reddit. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of it, but it's very similar to digg or stumble upon.
In my mind, one of the difficulties with the blog format is the lack of message board capabilities. Blog posts are made, comments are posted, and in order to read those comments, one has to open the post.
The Reddit format allows the original post to be displayed and then shows all subsequent comments directly beneath the post. I have taken the liberty of creating a subreddit: reddit.com/r/fremontfarmers.
It may not get off the ground, but it's worth a shot. Just trying to keep this thing alive and maybe a new format would be helpful.

I'm contributing on another unrelated blog, and one of the peeps in charge decided just to have everyone get email notifications for every new post or comment. It's a smaller blog, like this one, so it keeps everyone in the loop without being too annoying or overwhelming, as would be the case with more popular blogs. Just a thought.
I think that you can set that up for this blog. I get an email each time there is a new main post, but not each new comment.
Since Blogger now belongs to the Google Juggernaut, much of the automatic alerts need to be rigged to your gmail account.
I'm up for whatever works best. Being technologically uninformed-by choice-I don't know those other formats you were talking about, but am willing to learn for the sake of the Fremont :)
