Welcome to Mt. Pleasant, WI Blog

I have been thinking of creating a blog site for awhile now. I wanted a place that people could check in quickly, easily and a site which provided useful information. A place where it would help people do what they do. That may be a simple concept but once I dived in I discovered that it was not all that easy.

For example I wanted to create a calendar for events in the Village. This could be a real resource for residents of Mt. Pleasant. Whether the calendar is for Village Hall or public events for young and old, I thought it would be a nice addition that people would enjoy checking on from time to time. Finding a blog software that works with a calendar just isn't very plentiful I found out. But then I stumbled on, of all things, Google. Google has it's own Blogging software as well as Calendar software. And lo and behold it can be used together. The best part is it is free to charge too. So, I tried to see how well it worked. The result is what you see here now. I am sure it will evolve over time and improve so don't feel shy providing any feedback on things.

So, that's it. Took me awhile to start one but I think once I had a good idea what I wanted, the pieces finally came together. Thanks for reading and I hope you stop by from time to time and add to the discussion. 


Cheers
