Cheryl Presents Blogs You Should Know
Almost every morning, I spend a good deal of time on my laptop. I check my email, write something nice to my mom, start plurking, and read all of the updated local blogs on my list. I don’t “twitter” every single blog that updates, but nearly all of them. If you don’t have time to check out all of the links I find for you every day, here’s your alternative. Blogs You Should Know will let you know the best blog posts from the last few days.
Dr Rent thinks the speed trailer on Franklin St is poorly placed.

Your Voice: Sept 9
We must be out of the summer doldrums, because we have had a flurry of activity on the CW personal blogs. It is my pleasure to showcase a few, with the understanding that these links are merely a sampling, and that in fact you should be spending lots and lots of time exploring the Citizen Wausau community:
• I really feel it’s necessary to start off this week with a shout-out to the Green Bay Packers News blog, because the football season is upon us.
• Our own politicalactorvist, now a freshman at UW-Eau Claire, has a close call where he …

All right everyone, now is the time to get serious. Enough of the fun and frivolity. It is time for LINKS:
• The wonderful and talented Andy Laub – actor, designer, coding monkey, singer, player of Rock Band – has solved a problem that has dogged CW for some time, which is the preponderance of fake-people who want to start fake-blogs dedicated to spamming you and everyone around you. Current real-person bloggers are unaffected, and future real-person bloggers need only undergo a short validation period and then will be set loose into the wide world, where you want to be.

Your Voice took a week off last week but we are back in the groove again, and really it is easy because there is so much good stuff being posted in the CW personal blogs:
• Cheryl Mathis has a playground workout that probably lots of us could benefit from. I think she should put out a line of videos.
• Welcome to the new blogger Stephenie and her blog “Adventures of a Midwest Sound Girl.” I’d expect a Midwest sound girl to have some pretty interesting adventures, so it will be fun to hear updates on bands she sees …

I am having a hard time coming up with a good intro. But there is a lot of very interesting reading for one and all in CW’s personal blogs this week:
• Working with hay bales is hard work, man, if you have done it you know it is no joke. On the “A Stable Personality” blog, Billie tells a nice, warm story about stacking hay bales with friends, and about stacking hay bales as a random act of kindness.
• christopher thinks about technology and connectedness, and ponders severing the cord.
• The first-ever Green Bay Packers News podcast! …

You want personal blog content? We’ve got your personal blog content right here, pal. You might think that everyone would have been too busy over the past week getting ready for Chalkfest and Ribfest and sweating the Brett Favre saga to post in their blogs, but you would be so wrong if you thought that. Here is this week’s dose of the delightful, the debonair, the devilish and destructive and delicious CW personal blogs section:
• The Green Bay Packers News blog considers the “Hottest Chicks in Sports.” Personally I am much too high-minded to enjoy such a thing and …

Welcome, one and all. We hope everyone had a fun, safe, relaxing, exciting, rejuvenating, sexy, delicious, productive, mind-expanding holiday weekend.

The following links are a mere sampling of the wonders contained herein:
• Cheryl links to a truly delightful video that will restore your faith in humanity, as it does hers and …

This week’s installment of links to the great stuff going on in CW’s personal blogs section:
• A beautiful girl, some sort of love-triangle, someone getting out of a car wearing what appears to be a fish suit, someone getting punched in the face – all this and more in the completed trailer for forthcoming film Microcosm, courtesy of Erik’s “El Video de Wausau” blog.
• On an intense post called “Invitation to a Sexual Predator,” Alex Tallitsch tries to make contact with someone from his past. Follow-up post here.
• Billie from the “A Stable Personality” blog checks in …
Your Voice for June 23rd
This week’s installment of links to the great stuff going on in CW’s personal blogs section:
• Jill Knetter of the “View from the Stage” still loves the children’s book “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.” And who can blame her? And she is also a fan of other childish pursuits:
“I think that once in a while it’s nice to go back to things you used to enjoy. The other day I got out some sidewalk chalk and drew all over my front walk with my cousin. And you know what? It’s still fun. I drew a …
Your Voice: Version 2
A lot of the action at Citizen Wausau happens on the personal blogs. Links to recent posts show up on the sidebar here on the front page, but we also wanted to call attention to the individual blogs by offering a handful of links to posts that caught our eye. This is something we hope to do weekly. So here are a few — and only a few– highlights of what Citizen Wausau users have been blogging about lately.
A few – and only a few – highlights from Citizen Wausau user blogs in the past week or …
