“PB is a multistage process that begins with gathering ideas from citizens. Those ideas range from improving transportation, parks, schools and public safety to cleaning up the environment. Next, a group of delegates is selected to winnow down the ideas into a few projects that have a reasonable chance of being implemented. Finally, the best plans are placed on a ballot and citizens vote for their favorites.”

Hey there excellent website! Does running a blog like this take a lot
ReplyDeleteof work? I've very little knowledge of coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyway, should you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject however I simply needed to ask. Thanks a lot!

Anthony: Thank you for asking. There are two main aspects to it. The first is content and the second is design. The content is entirely up to you. You can write about what you want, and when you want.
DeleteThe second aspect is the design of your blog. Blogger offers quite a lot of tools for setting up a blog. Just start a blog and play with it for a while. Try different features. You can change layout, text styles, background and many other features at any time. You don’t need to have any computer background. I will be glad to help as you get started.
