Blog Update: On the Front Porch with Beck and Dull

UPDATE (02/10/07): The poll that was introduced in this post has been archived. Read about the results here.

********************

This week, I want to honor Wile E. Coyote for his tenacity and commitment to capture the Road Runner. Beep-beep! [Did you just hear the Road Runner beep-beep in your head?] How many Acme gadgets did Wile E. go through? Did he ever give up? Did he ever catch the Road Runner? Wile E. Coyote is my hero. And you should know this-why? Well...

What's Up with the On the Front Porch Blog?

Many of you have heard me talk about "On the Front Porch" since last fall. And anyone who's heard about it has responded with, "Sounds cool! Let me know when you go live!"

The reality, though, is that despite my attempts to "Go Live!" - much like Wile E.'s attempts - the blog is not live. Yet. 

The original thought behind this blog was to invite regular people, like you and me, to an online version of a front porch community. We'd talk about events of the day, none of it too serious, and always entertaining.

We were going to kick it off with two authors: Me and someone who would be more than happy to offer up alternative views. Sort of like Hannity & Colmes. Unfortunately, Beck (of "with Beck and Dull") won't be able to participate on a regular basis.

So now it's onto the next Acme gadget...

The Options

For a minute, let's pretend you're into reading blogs. [I realize that this blog thing is new for many of you.] How should I move forward with On the Front Porch? What kind of blog would interest you?

Option 1. Stick with the original plan and find another permanent author, someone who's positively opinionated and wears a different pair of glasses than I do. That shouldn't be too hard. :)

Option 2. Rotate different folks to join me in the Front Porch conversation each week. As a friend said, this would be more Oprahesque, but Tamaraesque style. This way, you'll hear lots of different voices, perhaps even your own.

Option 3. Some other kewl idea you think would work.

How Can You Help?

Let me know which option appeals to you the most by casting your vote in the poll in the right margin. It's easy to do. Two clicks and you're done.

For the more ambitious, you can also post a comment and/or send me an email with any thoughts you may have. Unlike Wile E. Coyote, I will capture this "Road Runner." Thanks for your time.

Stick with option 1-I like to hear both sides of the story. I think that is what was going to make yours unique.
Good luck!!!
