Wanna Blog?

We’re planning to launch a Lifestyle blog on this website in late spring—if we can find about 20 people with plenty of know how and the same amount of community spirit. (And of course, they’ll need to know how to write; previous blogging experience is a plus.) Our blog will not deal in controversial local or national issues—there are plenty of blogs for that—and in keeping with our website policy, it will not be a place to express political opinions or to criticize the opinions of other residents. There will be no anonymous comments, and our moderator (an mtl staff member who also moderates several blogs for the New York Times) will not allow any incivility to hit the digital page. And we don’t want people promoting their own businesses either, although we might consider a business owner, if the focus is on the subject matter not the business.
So basically what we’re looking for is enthusiastic writers—not necessarily experts but people who are very knowledgeable about things than can enhance the Mt. Lebanon experience and our lives in general—people of various ages, high school kids to retirees, who can come up with posts about 250 words in length between two and four times a month. (Oh, and we want them to like Mt. Lebanon and to volunteer to blog for free—that’s the community spirit part.)
Here is an overview of some of the subjects we’d like bloggers to comment on: travel, continuing education opportunities, books and film, home improvement, historic preservation, DIY projects, pets, new technology, gardening, landscaping, architecture, conservation, sustainability, new products, cooking, dining, shopping, entertainment, family fun, camps, fun stuff for tots, tweens and teens to do, fashion, health trends, fitness, weight management, cooking and local sports.
Whew! That’s a long list, and we’re open to other ideas, too.
We have a couple of terrific writers whose names you will recognize already lined up, but we need more. If you’re interested, please call or email smorgans@mtlebanon.org, 412-343-3780.
