So Where Do We Go From Here?

Well, as you read yesterday, Mike has ridden off into the blogging sunset. He will be back from time to time to guest blog and to definitely chime in as a commenter as well. But what happens now?

As Mike said, I fully intend to keep this blog going. Mike and I have heard from Lebo people everywhere -- not only here in our own town, but expatriates from around the country. They told us that they really enjoy keeping up on the news "back home" as well being able to "feel the pulse" (hence our tagline) of their community as our fellow residents engage in civil (and sometimes not-so-civil) debate regarding issues facing our hometown or chosen place of residence.

Any good businessperson will elicit feedback regarding their store, restaurant, etc. -- and this blog is no different. Please let me know what you like about Blog-Lebo; what you don't like; and what you'd like to see here -- whether it is different content, pictures, more opinion and less articles or vice-versa. I want this blog to continue for a long time, but I want to make sure to engage my readers and keep you coming back.

I really love this town. I was raised here and continue to live here. It's not a perfect town (none of them are), but it's my (our) town and we have the power to control its future -- through the election of our public officials, our ability to volunteer to serve others here and to speak our mind when it needs to be spoken.

Mike did this town a great service by starting Blog-Lebo in the first place. It has forever changed our community and I want to make sure that it exists for a very long time. Thank you for your previous (and future) readership. I can't do this without you!
