Blogged Down (4): Yours, Mine, and Hours

Since the hook for blogs is content, what makes up blog fodder?

A seasonal list of library hours, for one. This is very reliable in popularity and uncontroversial. Just the facts, m'am.

Yet there is a problem. A blog consists of timely (a coincidental pun) entries, and a person who wants to know library hours may have ado to journey through a blog to locate this. For the deliberate searcher, it is better for hours to live on the library's homepage.*

*A favorite novel with a gratuitous quote: "From a corner the morning hours run out."--James Joyce, Ulysses
