Grassroots of Tarboro

In this blog I voice my opinion. Mine. Just mine. Not the opinion of everyone who is a part of Grassroots of Tarboro.  I am not necessarily the voice of GOT, I'm just me and I write this blog because it keeps this website active and it draws people to this site and it gets people stirred up and it makes things happen.

I understand website promotion a little bit. I understand that if I made this as a static site that simply provided basic information, a visitor would come once, and may never come back again.  By having a blog on this site and a way for people to respond, the site is interactive and remains interesting.  You can read what I posted today and come back in a few days to see what comments have been made by readers or to see what other topics I've blogged about. I can tell from my page stats that a lot of people revisit the site on a fairly regular basis, a few come nearly every day.

I know that on occasion the online posting of my opinions makes waves in our quiet little town, and some people don't like wave-makers, so the blog might sometimes draw a negative reaction that may or may not be directed at the Grassroots of Tarboro as a whole.  I am just one person, just a tiny part of the Grassroots of Tarboro. If you don't like my opinions, try to remember that they are MY opinions and try to stay focused on the good things for Tarboro that the GOT people are working on.   

 I hope you all realize that my heart is in the right place.   I care about this town.  I care about the people of this town. I want good things for Tarboro and everyone who lives here.  I think the benefits of having an active blog that attracts an expanding number of interested and active people, outweigh the negative aspects of a few people who might disagree with my personal opinions.
