State...Journal...blogosphere....slowly....dying....gasp

Marine Recon, trying, and others.....If you guys want to discuss national politics sooooo much, then please create a blog on national politics and do so. When you keep bringing in national politics (in reference to local, unrelated blogs) it makes people like me who want to read opinions (about the blog/article subject) search through all the same crap you guys say on every blog. So please, do us a favor and restrict your comments to the subject in the blog/article.

The comments from many of these posters prove my theory that this is absolutely the cheapest town in America. Its a small town where we know most each other and everyone wants a deal. But we forget, if we give everyone a deal, we are out of business in a couple of months.

For what it costs a family of four to eat at O'Charlies or Chili's ONE TIME, you can have a full year online sunscription to our local paper.
That has to be one of the best bargains around, anywhere.

Now I wish like crazy the SJ would do more investigative journalism on state government. It is ripe with misdeeds and state workers ready to rat them out. And they should rat them out, it is our tax money being wasted. The local need is proven by the staffs both statewide papers dedicate to Frankfort.

Back on topic, see my earlier post for the environmental benefits this paid site provdes too.

It seems to me that if the State Journal really wanted more people to pay for the online edition, they would make it easier and faster to subscribe and get access. Right now you have to submit your contact information and wait for them to call you back.

Hey guys, how about setting up an online payment option that provides immediate access once the payment is processed? Paypal works wonderfully for this! I know because I've used it on many, many websites.
