Announcement from another
This comes from David Steinberg in the San Francisco, San Jose area:
I'm excited to announce that The San Francisco Chronicle has invited me to open a blog on its all-encompassing website, sfgate.com, and I hope that you'll take a look and let me know what you think of it.
The URL for the blog is:
www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/steinberg/index
My blog is part of a new SFGate feature, City Brights, that went public yesterday afternoon. A broad spectrum of "local luminaries" is being invited to blog regularly about -- well -- just about any and everything. It's all very open-ended and free-wheeling, and will be featured continuously on the sfgate.com home page, right below the "Inside SFGate" module. Eventually City Brights hopes to include blogs from about 75 diverse people from the San Francisco Bay Area. As of yesterday there are 14 people on board, including some very interesting folks, I must say.
I've been promised that I'll be free to talk about anything I want (some language restrictions per The Chronicle's standards, but nothing serious) and they've got a nifty program that lets me post photos as well, so I can do posts that are essentially photo galleries, and easily incorporate photo images into my regular posts (although I'll have to stay within the photo protocols that The Chronicle maintains which are, of course, far more restrictive than what I could include with Comes Naturally columns.
I'm sure I'll end up talking about sex much of the time, but I can venture as far afield as I like, and indulge at least the wide range of voices and styles -- personal, political, philosophical, humorous, serious -- that became regular fare in Comes Naturally. Being able to talk about topics other than sex feels good to me in these tumultuous times, and it will be exciting to see what I can make of this opportunity to speak to a broad and decidedly more mainstream audience than I had with Comes Naturally.
My first post is up now -- a statement about the couples photography I've been doing for the last ten years. I hope you'll take a look, and I encourage you to post a comment, however brief, to show the good folks at The Chronicle that I'm being read and appreciated. I'll be adding new posts frequently, so please check in from time to time to see what's been added and hopefully join the conversation.
