Ok here the deal. Today I launched an online newspaper http://pensacolawestsidenews.com/ for my area of town, Pensacola Florida. As you fellows know, I am a Shipwright and mechanic by trade and not a writer but it is something that I have always wanted to do. Please feel free to drop by and check it out and leave me a comment on what you liked or did not like. To be honest I could use the hits. I value your input. Thanks CG ps You can also hit the Facebook Like Button if you wish. |

That's a great idea Billy! Looks to be real interesting reading. I notice there's a little duplication on the front page but it's all good. I like the personal touch which I think is good for a hometown paper. You might want to flip the titles around so that it reads: Pensacola's West Side News An Online Newspaper Just a suggestion.

Thanks everyone for the input. Good idea. Mr Way. I still have a lot to learn. Check the paper out every now and then and see what is happening. It is a little like driving with a bad tie rod ends. It dosent always go when you aim it. I will do a article on Geos on the Gulf very soon.

I think it looks great! 1,400 hits in 7 days is 200 per day and that is really good for just starting out. It looks better than my newspaper's online stuff. Are you taking article submissions? Might want a button for that, if you are and a way to submit photos also. Only suggestion would be a different color in your header for your name. White is not working for me. Even the darker brown of the site or the charcoal lettering on the site would look better IMHO. Something in between white and black.

@ Bad Bent, Thank you very much for your comments. I was not happy with color also but you have to change it with code, and I am still trying figure out how to do it. I think I know how. I will ask Rita or my daughter to do it LOL. I will include a place for people to post pictures and articles. Great suggestion. Thanks again

Billy, I would rather read your newspaper than that POS New York Times. Good for you to turn your dreams into a reality. Maybe if you added a metro column, JM could see in his benevolent heart to give you a link on GMF. I really do like the style of you paper. Two thumbs up. |
