Community Chroniclers

WaPo's Sunday Source profiles some local bloggers around the region who focus on neighborhood news---"an ever evolving mix of journaling and journalism." None of the subjects comes from our neck of the woods, but one touts Tales of Two Cities as a blog he reads regularly.

The bloggers in the piece offer some advice---or is it challenges?--for the rest of us: For instance, Rick Wilson of Laurel Connections says "There's no way to amass enough readership to make it pay, so people have to do it as part of their daily life. My rule is it can't cost anything but my time."
