Consipracy Theory Dashed…
A couple of weeks ago I electronically submitted an article about this site to the Hunts Post. It was a short promo with a plea for volunteers to help. Thinking that it would appear last week the pressure was on to get the site ready to go live. Last weekend was therefore more than a bit hectic. As it happens nothing appeared in the paper. This coupled with the request in the Hunts Post for folks to submit ‘blogs’ to them seemed to suggest that there might be a motive - competition, for not publishing the letter.
It is reassuring therefore to see that I was wrong. This week (Wednesday October 11th edition) the letter appears on page 3 under the title ’Blogging to Save the Old County‘ - in bold type and very much “in your face” at the top. Can’t miss it 
It’ll be interesting to see whether this publicity helps and/or whether there’s anyone sufficiently interested to join and help.
The only slight downer in all this is that for some reason the letter doesn’t appear electronically within the letters part of the Hunts Post online site. This means that I’m unable to provide a link to it. It does, however, appear within the e-Edition - an electronic page - by - page version - but this cannot be linked to nor the text selected. Not knowing whether all letters normally appear on the site I can’t tell whether it’s policy or a drop-off.
It is disappointing 
Still, any publicity is good publicity.
