The Shiretown Blogger tells the Carleton County story
There’s a young fellow by the name of Nathan who has started a blog in Woodstock called “The Shiretown Blogger”. His masthead reads, “Sharing community news in effort to celebrate our wealthy community and its progress.” What better goal could you have getting into the reporting business? So far Nathan has had nearly 1500 page views which isn’t bad considering that he only started up in July. He does an interesting blend of pictures and text including his most recent post from Sunday showing him attending a book launch by fellow blogger and author Riel Nason at Connell House in Woodstock. He’s also reported on the remarkable start to the season for the Woodstock Slammers (9 wins), meetings being held by Woodstock MLA & Premier Dave Alward and some development news from the town. He even includes a pitch for Jacques Poitras' new book. Nice mix and well written. It’s great to see someone so young taking not only an interest in his community, but also an interest in reporting it out in a very professional looking product. Good job Nathan! I look forward to seeing your byline in national, non-Irving owned media one of these days!
A thank you once again to this blogger (whose username appears as "Your humble blogger") for his kind words about The Shiretown Blogger. They are truly appreciated.
