Welcome Port Orange Residents!

This is it! Your new and improved Port Orange blog (web log), created especially for Port Orange residents, and even our wannabe's. =) Here, you'll be able to find (and comment on) Port Orange real estate, news, events and more.

Creating your own Blogspot account is easy. And once you've done so, you'll be able to leave your comments, suggestions and constructive opinions on the blogs posted here. You can even suggest your own ideas for future blog posts, or if you have a knack for writing, feel free to write your own post and receive credit for it! This is blogging, Web 2.0 style!

Do you have something well-written and constructive to contribute? If so, leave a comment on this post, and we'll get back to you, with details on how you can add your content to this blog.

I hope you'll find this to be a fun, interactive source of Port Orange information, for you and your friends. Let's all contribute, and create a well-rounded, safe place, for optimistic Port Orange-ites (new word) to interact.

The next post will be specifically for Countryside, with the year-end data for 2008. (Unfortunately, there wasn't enough data to write an entire post just for the Hunt Club.)

If you'd like to see the 2008 year-end real estate data for a particular Port Orange community, post a comment and we'll be happy to compile that data for you, just as soon as we can.

I'm excited about having our own, Port Orange online community that is not too big to enjoy, and I hope you all look forward to getting to know each other through your supportive, constructive comments.

I will be tweaking, and adding some more interesting and interactive tools to this site, and a few simple guidelines. After all, sometimes the written word does not completely convey the true intentions of the one who posts the comment. So we will be taking steps to do the best we can, to avoid any misunderstandings or miscommunications.

Bookmark/Favorite this blog and check back often for new Port Orange information as we grow our little community!
