Read community blogs and create your own at BlountCountyVoice.com

Blount Voice Managing Editor

The Daily Times has a space for community conversation. BlountCountyVoice.com puts you in the editor’s chair; you write about what’s important in your world and participate in discussions about topics of all shapes and sizes.

Daily Times reporters and editors are blogging at BlountCountyVoice.com along with many from around the community.

We’ve also begun relationships with several local bloggers to syndicate their content on our site. We include snippets from their blogs and provide a link to their sites from ours to help provide the bloggers in our community with additional exposure.

There’s a lot to read and a lot to talk about at BlountCountyVoice.com, and we’re just getting started. As we grow, we’re looking forward to more exciting local blogs, podcasts and video podcasts. We’ve just started our first Daily Times podcast — and it’s available now on BlountCountyVoice.com. It features Daily Times Weekend Editor Steve Wildsmith with his music picks for the week and several tracks from local bands. It’s very rock and roll — and very exciting.

If you want to get in on the action, head over to BlountCountyVoice.com and click “Sign Up.” The registration process is easy and you’ll not be bothered by mailing list spam. We don’t sell addresses and highly value the privacy of all our users.
And if you’re already blogging on another platform, send an e-mail to timothy.hankins@thedailytimes.com to get linked up with BlountCountyVoice.com.

At BlountCountyVoice.com we’re hoping to build as strong a Web community as the real-life community that makes Blount County such a great place to be.
