If you’re reading this then you found the blogs page on wenatcheeworld.com.

You see, reporters have lives outside of the hustle and bustle of the newsroom, so it’s on this page where World staffers write about topics ranging from making wine to playing guitar. But there is more happening out here in the Wenatchee World’s corner of the blogosphere than just what us reporters are writing about. So that’s why aside from the 10 staff blogs we offer, we also offer multiple community blogs written by readers just like you.

These community blogs can be accessed by clicking on the icon that reads “click here for community bloggers” on the main blogs page (don’t click the icon above because it won’t work). None of the community blogs are edited or controlled by the World. This site only acts as a host for the blogs and takes no responsibility for the content posted on said blogs.

However, just because The World assumes no responsibility for what’s on these blogs doesn’t mean there isn’t some good stuff tucked away in the depths of the community blogs page.

Here’s a look at some of what’s been happening with community blogs:

Josh Tarr did something with a blog that reporters for The World have yet to do: live blog. Tarr live blogged a Wenatchee Wild game from Alaska last weekend. Check it out here.

Todd Telecky has been making several trips to the west side of the mountains to catch a slew of punk rock bands, all the while blogging all about it in his Punk On blog.

Former Wenatchee World editorial cartoonist and features editor Andrew Wahl (who is now the Journalism 101 instructor at Wenatchee Valley College) has brought his toons back to the World.

The newest community blogger, Amy Hefner, is blogging about TV, DVDs and “everything you can watch from the comfort of your couch.”

So that’s what’s happening with the community blogs here on wenatcheeworld.com. Sound interesting? Want to create a community blog of your own and have The World host it? Well, e-mail World Web Editor Brianne Pruitt (a.k.a. my boss) and she’ll take care of it for you.
