You seem to be experiencing the same probelm I have since i started my blog just a few weeks ago: 0 Comments. Maybe we can collaborate to solve this problem.
Love the blog. I am trying to start a street newspaper in Salt Lake City, Utah. Many people have suggested just doing one online, but I feel that defeats the purpose of getting homeless people proactive in improving their lives. I'd like a real print paper that can be sold on the street, and benefit the vendors. This is how most street papers work. Nothing against your efforts, though.
Anyhow, If you have any suggestions regarding my endeavor, please advise. I'm finding there's a lot to do just as precursory stuff, and I'm overwhelmed, as I am not a business man.
Again, not to debase your content, but are you aware that there are sources for articles about homeless issues, with photos and professional layout, available through the Street News Service, which is connected with both Reuters and UPI? I don't have the url handy, but you can just search them and you'll find them.
I don't know if you're looking to change or upgrade your content. I'm just trying to be helpful. I'm in no way trying to put down your efforts, the blog is super.
I often address homeless issues in my blog, because until just last week, I was homeless. In fact I've been homeless for the better part of the last ten years. I truly appreciate what anyone like yourself does to advocate for homeless people, and educate the public about poverty and homeless issues. That's why I'm looking to do something similar. Thank you.
