I am curious as to what it seems like there is regular articles about the Cottin's Hardware Farmers Market. I see that one of the Cottin's is the author, but it seems so self-serving that this is less news and more just advertising. That is fine if anyone can do it, but I wanted to check to see if that was the case cause I know a lot of companies that would then start a "blog" to promote their activities and have them show up on the main LJW website news list.

This is the WellCommons site, not LJW. This particular blog of Linda's fits the purpose of the Food and Nutrition segments of WellCommons; I for one appreciate knowing what's available at the farmers markets before I go so I can plan accordingly.

kernal, I wasn't saying this was a bad blog. I just was curious if anyone could start a blog on this site and then have it show up on the LJW main site's listing of "Latest" news that is listed down the left side of the page. Seems like a great way to get some free promotion of your events as long as it fits into the theme of the website.
