Since Easter, we have been generating text articles, photo galleries, and video for PdCToday.com.  We have considered this to be a trial period for the website. As we worked out the kinks and gained a sense of the workload PdCToday would require we didn’t expect many visitors. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see that in the matter of just a few weeks, hundreds of people found PdCToday.com and visit it daily.  Not bad for a yet-to-be officially launched website and zero promotion. This simply confirms our ideas laid out in our business plan that there is a tremendous, and growing, desire for online news and local community content.

What’s next? Our primary goal is to simply generate more content, meaning more articles, more photos, more video. With this will come an “official” website launch and the start of promotional activities.  Up to this point, we’ve solely existed in this crazy almost-imaginary funland called the internet. We realize that the foundation of PdCToday.com’s future success comes from being active and (physically) visible in the community.

A visit to PdCToday.com should give viewers a snapshot of what is driving conversation and shaping lives in Prairie du Chien and surrounding communities. In addition, it should be a valuable resource with an easily searchable database of past articles and video.

How can  you help us? The power of the internet is it’s ability to allow anyone to distribute their message to a mass audience. If you have an opinion – tell us.  We can post it in a “letter to the editor” style format. If you’re planning an event – give us the details. We know there is no shortage of things to do in the area. We want to help promote these events.  Did something interesting or noteworthy happen to you or someone you know?  Share it with us.  We believe everyone tells a story.

We love feedback. We love interacting with people.  We love this area.  Let us know what you think.

I’m looking forward to what lies ahead for PdCToday.com.  Thanks for coming along with us.
