Until it was forced on me as part of my job, I was never a blogger. Barely knew what the word meant.

But the truth is, it's pretty fun. I like blogging for these reasons:

- I get my opinion out in the public.

- Online discussions can be extremely interesting, and a lot of the time a blog can start a good discussion. Just search for "Highway 282," "Benko," "Hennen," or "roundabout" to see some of the talks that are going on.

Vote on the latest Web site polls, including rating the Jordan City Council, the Scott County Board, and commissioners Joe Wagner and Bob Vogel.

To find the polls, go to the News scroll-down menu above and then click on the Polls section.

Please keep in mind that these are unscientific polls done by your local newspaper. They are purely for conversational purposes. Feel free to comment below the polls.
