What's this site for?

Well, I've only had the URL registered for the past five years, expecting to do something cool but never getting around to it! It was a wake-up call when it came up for renewal...

The idea is that this site will provide information about the Pioneer Valley, and possibly a place for me to comment on local events, politics, or other things I want to keep separate from my business site at www.jolanders.com, (blatant self-promotion) where I offer bookkeeping, typesetting, web site design, and web site hosting services. There doesn't seem to be any one site that offers a decent range of information about the area, so that's what I'm trying to do here. Hopefully doing this will give me a reason to break out the camera and make some day trips, visit a few fairs or other events, meet new people and have a little fun.

Eventually I want to get lots of info up on the site, including reviews and comments from visitors, but for now the navigation on the side is mostly leading to collections of links and showing what the eventual structure might be - the target pages will have links to related sites, but not a whole lot of extra information. If you have comments or suggestions, please
