EV Destination will continue on and with more content than ever before

After pondering on whether I should maintain two blogs or just one, I have decided to keep my two blogs: this one and the one in the Seattle P-I.

This will be beneficial in the future due to the fact there are a lot more rules and policies to adhere as a Seattle P-I blogger, whereas here I feel that I can write and "say" almost anything I want. So, I will try concentrate on having electric car posts in the Seattle P-I and I'll use this site for posts that are more political or relate to the issue of Peak Oil.

Also, I am able to measure the traffic I get on this site whereas I'm not able to do the same with my blog in the P-I. Being able to measure the number of visitors that return to my blog is a good way for me to evaluate the quality of my writing. In other words, "is my writing interesting and engaging?" I'm not able to answer this question unless I know how many people are visiting the site and how many readers are returning.

While I don't feel I have as much freedom with the Seattle P-I blog as I do with this blog, I am very grateful to the Seattle P-I for allowing me to blog for them and reach some of their readers with my content.

So these are the reasons why this blog will go on for the foreseeable future. I hope that you come back!

BLOGGING = CITIZEN JOURNALISM

Electric Cars expanding and getting more publicity

I'm thrilled to announce that the Seattle Post-Intelligencer took interest in my blog and has allowed me to be a blogger for them. This is great as I'll be able to reach a lot more readers and people interested in learning more about electric vehicles.


Nothing changes for me, except that I'm now using their so blogware, which looks a little different. The web address is also different: http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/electricvehicleguide/

My passion for electric cars is huge, and if you read the rather lengthy introduction I wrote as my first post for the Seattle P-I, you will understand why. I'm glad they were able to see that because there's a ton of information about electric cars and related topics that I have stored in head and haven't shared yet. So this is the incentive I need. I have an agreement with the P-I to blog at least 3 times a week. If anyone wishes to participate in this blog, please contact me directly.

I love the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It is my favorite local newspaper. I love their news coverage, and I love David Horsey's cartoons.

I'm not sure yet how to maitain or synchronize these two blogs now. Maitaining a blog is a lot of work. Maintaining two blogs (that have different features) seems like unnecessary work. I might just end up having these two blogs with different posts for the time being. Ultimately, my goal is to turn evdestination.com into a full featured web site that compares all electric cars available for people to buy. So when that happens the Seattle P-I blog can continue on and the issue of two blogs is solved.

Please, come back soon for more great information on electric vehicles.
