I'm a community blogger! I responded to the newspaper's facebook post asking for community bloggers. He's interested in my topic, Bicycling and Walking in Kirksville. I'm to write twice a week, but posts should be around 300 words. I was looking at my personal blog and my science blog...there may be a lot of multi-part posts. I can write a lot. (You might be astonished to learn that I talk a lot too. But not as much as some people. I CAN shut up, if I try!)

He wants me to start after the new year, or maybe a little before. I've already written several posts in my head. I'll probably have quite a few actually written down before I start. It'll be good to have some in reserve anyway, because some weeks it will be really hard to get two posts out.

The competition wasn't exactly fierce. He said he was hoping to get two community bloggers started. He has no idea what our readership might be. It's a pretty small town, so I don't expect a huge following.

I'm really excited about this.
