Blog in Temporary Slowdown Mode

My personal posts will be in slowdown mode as I go through a period of "restructuring", and rethinking.

The current, goal of having an active group blog looking at the good and bad of the art scene here and the real economic and social impact of good and bad design on the lives of people in the Cleveburgh region isn't close to being met.

The bad news is that I just don't see much upside in investing too much of my time in a blog too few are reading and participating in. (You can see my comments in places like Urbanophile) The good news is that several new people may be coming on board in the next few months with wider views of urbanism and the Cleveland Art world.

Until then, things are most likely to slow down but not die out to a few posts a week. Of course, you could breath life back in by contributing posts.

If you have thoughts, events, insight or images you want to share about art, music, film, urban design, architecture, transit or history in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Youngstown, Erie, Morgantown, Akron, Canton region--Cleveburgh, email me diggingpitt@gmail.com. We can hook you up to post.

This is not Hyper Local media, but regional media seeking local viewpoints.

Yinz Links Thoughts

Followers of this blog quickly become aware of it's often chaotic nature. Projects are often started and not followed up on and continuing themes like Merge's weekend posts and my Yinz links come and go. There are three main reasons for this.

1) No blogger on this site gets any compensation beyond a very occasional free museum pass. You get what you pay for. At some point in the future we may be able to work in a few revenue generating ideas, but they are not likely to result in significant cash.

2) The blog has no editorial or "management" team. The blog flows with the whims, energy and interest of it's most active posters.

3) One of the leading posters is has ADHD and perhaps a number of other serious mental disorders. (and it's not Susan)

Anyway, the Yinz links series I did for a while may occasionally return in a random and evolved form broken up into categories like Yinz Arts Links; Yinz Economics; Yinz Weird News or something like that. It will not be on every few days.

Spell check doesn't recognise yinz as a word.
