Do You Want to Join Our Blogging Family?

The City of Gig Harbor Tourism Marketing office, along with our Gig Harbor Visitor Information Center, are the lead organization for the greater Gig Harbor area for promotion and marketing for the community. Our website http://www.gigharborguide.com/ is the most viewed site for Gig Harbor area information. And starting mid-March, our website will have a fresh, more colorful and much more user friendly layout! We can't wait to share it with you!

At the same time, our Gig Harbor Guide Blog will also change. No longer will the blog be hosted at Blogspot. It will be hosted on our website and be much easier to access, comment and use as tool for the community. This is another great development for Gig Harbor.

As part of these changes, we are recruiting "guest bloggers" to join our team. The new blog will provide a great opportunity to bring community members into the conversation with insight, ideas, suggestions and tips about our community.

We've been thinking about some topics we would like to have community bloggers focus on; environment, heritage, recreation, food, kids and family. We are open to other ideas as well.

So here's what we need - if you are as passionate about Gig Harbor as we are, are a descent writer, not a politician or community hot shot, just an average Gig Harbor guy or gal, we'd love to hear from you.

Of course, the blog is the property of The City of Gig Harbor Marketing Department, and so we will have some rules; all blogs must be positive. Period. No slamming businesses, or people in the community. No political statements or candidate endorsements. If you can't be positive then this is not the place for you.

All blogs will be edited and reviewed by me (Laureen) prior to posting, so if you object to editing, then this is not the place for you.

We would love to expand our blog to have a greater voice for the community. Interested? Send me an email to apply. We will be taking applications over the next couple of weeks and will let you know who we have chosen by the middle of March.

We'd love to have you on the team!
