Looking for New Bloggers


 Town Plat, August 10, 1857  

The original March, 1857 version of the map did not have purchasers names in the lots. The 85 lots originally sold for $15 each. West Street is now called Healdsburg Avenue, South Street is now Matheson Street. -- image from Healdsburg Museum


We are looking for more bloggers for the Healdsburg History Blog.


Our goal is to build a real community blog for  networking and sharing interesting information. I have a fair sized e-mail list, but I don't know if you are following the blog unless you actually enroll as a "follower" on the blog. I welcome anyone who wants to become an "author" and post relevant material on the blog. You just need to let me know if you wish to author or send me your blog to post.

What is relevant?
•  historical anecdotes/information/photos
•  current all-Healdsburg volunteer efforts that need promotion
•  links and information about other interesting/relevant Healdsburg websites
•  information/updates/photos on historic homes
•  stories on past/present Healdsburg people of interest
•  memories of the "good old days"
•  community/environmental issues in Healdsburg
•  personal experiences of Healdsburg
•  book reviews/links related to Healdsburg
•  links to your own fiction/non-fiction written about Healdsburg

What is not relevant?
•  self-promotion of your personal cause, business or politics
•  linking to your business unless you run it by the blog Administrator (me)
•  political commentary that is not relevant to Healdsburg
•  bad mouthing anyone in any manner

  1. Hi Shonnie,

    You could talk to the new executive director over at the museum. She actually needs a blog. This is a great way to get her started.

    Kind regards,
    Jennifer Burke

  2. Also talk to Bo over at the wine library. But he is incredibly busy. But it's another option.

    Thanks,
    Jennifer

  3. Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, both Sue and Bo are well aware of my blog. The Museum and I actually link to each other. Thanks for your comments!
