I think you're right about Placeblogger's target group, that is the way I understand it too. Good luck with your site! I'll be stopping by from time to time to see how it evolves. kpaul: Thanks for your input, and for talking a bit more about your plans for Local Journalism Dot Net.

I think I may be going at it from another angle than them. The site I'm creating is more for publishers and those interested in getting into publishing their own news sites. I want technical details and observations about what the sites have done and are doing. (Still a ways to go on that, though.) I think PlaceBlogger.com is directed more toward the citizens themselves - as in these are sites you can go to rather than these are sites you can study for ideas? In any case, I wish them the best of luck with PlaceBlogger.com. I may end up writing some kind of essay for the site if I can find the time. ;) I knew they were planning something with that domain, but I don’t think they went live with it until right around the time I went live with Local Journalism Dot Net (which, admittedly, I threw up after a couple days of work on it…)
