With this week's blog I am returning to the on-line community after a short absence due to vacation. My blogging return is accompanied with an idea for a new title for this web entry. Instead of calling it "Lisa's Blog," which seems very bland and uninteresting, I will now title my website musings "On My Mind." My editorials each week tend to be more issue oriented, so I want my blog to be a little more personal and random...

Thanks to Rob Hoppie and another loyal Cassville Democrat reader, I have learned that the term blog is short for "web log." So I guess my blog is sort of like an on-line diary. I was hoping the definition of blog would give me a better idea of what I am to write about, but now I realize, blogging is just another form of creative expression that I will be dabbling with in the weeks and months to come...

Welcome to the Cassville Democrat's new web site. I hope you will take some time to explore and let us know what you think. This will be a work in progress for the next few weeks as we get used to the new site and add all the extras that we hope will attract more and more people to cassville-democrat.com...

Enjoy...
