Think about it Matt, you are about as far away from us as it gets. Most likely Scott and I did come within 200 ft. of each other as we went to our New Year’s dinners by traveling on Hwy. 74 at roughly the same time. Heck of a communication triangle through the hyperlocalblogger site that day.

I think it’s cool that you two somehow bumped into each other on this blog.

@Steve. That is weird Steve! We probably passed each other on 74 as I went to eat with my Dad who lives in Stallings. All my family is from Monroe, Waxhaw and up here in Mooresville. I like your blog and that is what I’m thinking of starting up for my area. Maybe we could touch base sometime.

Thanks for the forum and the feedback on wordpress Matt! This is great!

@Scott. This is weird Scott. I’m in Monroe, NC and I’m leaving for Mooresville in about an hour to have dinner with my daughter. My daughter runs the Charles Mack Center and my son-in-law is an attorney in Mooresville. What are the chances you and I both remarked on Matt’s blog today?

Thanks for the kind words, Scott. Glad you enjoyed the series. All of our blogs are hosted with Dreamhost, and we run WordPress on all of them. I’m not a fan of Blogger at all, and only marginally a WordPress.com fan — but WordPress.com is a lot better than Blogger if you don’t want to do your own hosting/domain.

Thanks for your series! It’s given me some great ideas. I found your site while searching for blogging in multiple cities. I live in Mooresville, NC which is just one of many towns around Charlotte, NC. This is race city if you are into NASCAR and I live about 2 miles from Davidson College if you follow the NCAA and the Cinderella Davidson Wildcats!

Anyway, thanks for the series and I was curious who you use for your blog hosting. It’s obviously not blogger or wordpress, and also do you have thoughts good or bad on using these?

ZOMG. That is so cool. First time I have seen a city do this. Have you sent to Greg Sterling? I bet he would be interested…
