IDLE GOSSIP
Here at Trumpit Towers we have been discussing the digital revolution and how we have not been quite up to speed with the age. The Trumpit when all said and done is part of the Dead Tree Press an old fashioned medium which in the wider world is slowly dying out. The Trumpit is a global brand and is read across the world from our web site, which is pretty basic. It covers last month’s edition in a .pdf format. The only difference is we can show colour photographs. As a leap into the new age we have put together a new blog which will be launched on the good citizens of Idle and Thackley in the next couple of weeks. It will allow the Trumpit to report on a wider range of activities in the area. It will also allow feedback direct to the website with a comments facility. The format will be that of a blog with short articles and links to other sites for a more in depth view. For example if a church in the area is holding a fund raising event We can publicise the event on the blog with a link to the organisation for all the details. What we want to do is bring the community together and be a rich source of information about the activities in the area. There are several facebook sites which do this at the present and we hope to provide links to these important resources. If the blog proves a success we will turn it into a fully fledged website to help the whole community. You can be part of this by just clicking on the blog and using it, even better still commenting on the content and requesting what is to be featured and maybe writing some articles. Commercially we hope to build a big enough reader base to attract advertising. If you run a business tell us about it and we will publish it on the blog. Holding a charity event, sporting event or just doing something unusual, if its legal and in reasonably good taste we will let the world know about it.
