Got some nice press on the front page of the Neighbor section of the Daily Herald yesterday. Always nice to know people are reading the blog! Plus the headline had aliteration in it! Always one of my favorite word plays.Round Lake Mayor Bill Gentes is finding out the power of the written word.
As well as the galvanizing power of opinions.
Gentes started the week on Monday with a post in his blog, www.eroundlake.com/blog, about the notion of consolidating the four Round Lake area communities into one city, an idea that has been tried, and failed, in the past.
Monday’s post, which ended with Gentes writing, “I think this is a concept whose time is getting closer,” was followed by a second post about the idea on Tuesday.
And the comments rolled in on both offerings — some supportive and some saying he was off his rocker for favoring the idea.
Monday’s post garnered more than 20 replies, while Tuesday’s stands at nearly 20. Gentes said the real eye-opening numbers are the number of unique visitors. Bloggers are able to track the number of visits and visitors to their sites, and Gentes said Wednesday was the most visited day ever of his site.
“It’s been fun watching the spikes in visitors,” he said.
