Thanks for the welcome Lynne …”A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
I rolled out the blog on Oct. 8 without regard for templates, fonts, etc. I don’t think the current template allows for much in the way of changes unless you fork over $30 for the upgrade. So if you see a sudden change in templates or whatever, its probably going to be for the better.
So far all the posts are mine, but I haven’t figured out how to show the author yet. Its on my priority list. I’ll apply a temp fix in the meantime.
In terms of the “Lowell2020″ program, there will be periodic open meetings somewhere downtown to discuss issues affecting Lowell’s future. Additional bloggers will be welcome to climb on board as we go. Email me if interested george@cometolowell.com .
Yes, there will be a TV show on LTC called “Lowell2020″. And currently, my radio program “The Lowell
Connection” is on WUML 91.5 (not WCAP, though the segment appeared there through last year). All the segments from both stations are in the podcast journal at http://cometolowell.com/WUML.htm .
“Lowell2020″ is a direct descendent of ComeToLowell.com which just completed its third year of a 5 year roll out with peak traffic records. “Lowell2020″ will take it from here, and ComeToLowell.com is now a subset of “Lowell2020″.
“Lowell2020″ applies focus to what LOWELL wants to be exactly.
Stay tuned …

Let me know if you need any help, George!
Sorry about the radio mix up…apparently I read through the front page a bit too fast.
