While this is not technically a problem, it is a poor practice. It contributes to a watering-down of the brand, and leaves readers with a sense of unprofessionalism.This perception is further encouraged by having the photography staff's galleries hosted at yet another domain (jonwoods.com... I guess I could understand Jon's being there, but the others???), and a mixed bag of domains which are in use by the Gazette: gazetteonline.com, gazettecommunications.com, gazcomm.com (gagcomm.com?) ... plus, in the past, crgazette.com.A structured, consistent, and well-planned site is one that readers find useful and enjoyable to visit. I just don't forsee this being the case here. Just my thoughts. One “problem” I see with this blog… and with all of the Gazette’s blogs… is that they are hosted on a third-party site (wordpress.com).

I like the "Best seat in the House" not only because they were great pictures, but also had the information about the camera and settings. For someone learning that is a great help. Keep of your inovations. Paul: Just wanted to let you know I looked at the blog and found it very interesting.
