Welcome to the inaugural post on the newest feature of the Garfield Messenger: the blog. Media is going digital (or, depending on your point of view, has already gone) and we here at the Messenger are following suit. Expect this blog to be updated periodically in these last few days of school and over the summer. I, in turn, shall expect you to faithfully visit us through cyberspace.

Our entrance into the world of online media offers several advantages over the medieval days of exclusively print publication, and we plan to utilize these. Expect more news stories posted in real time. Expect more timely movie reviews. Expect more articles, some of them online-exclusive.

As for this blog, I hope that it will function as a conversation between Messenger staff and you, our readers. We will be posting to update you on our news, plans, ideas, opinions and questions. Any general feedback or critique that you have will be welcomed.

Now, direct your mouse to the “Favorites” button, generally located in the top left region of the page. Add this site.

That felt good, didn’t it? See you back here soon.
