The truth - as told by anyone who wishes to tell theirs - can be laid out in a blog. The barrier to entry on this format is low, most are very simple to use and free. DCVB decided to give amplification to those truths by consolidating local blogs into a central location. To date, more than 470 are listed here on a page on the Durham News Service website.
On this page, a blog itself, are blogs from all corners of the community on all subjects - everything from personal ruminations to hard-hitting reporting and informed opinion. Perusal of this list gives a reader a strong sense of Durham from many angles - just the intent for which it was designed.
There are thousands more to add to this compilation. Take this article as an invitation to see sides of the community in which you live that to you might be foreign. Share the resource with friends who are thinking of visiting, or media that might be interested in learning about Durham by listening to those who call it home. It's quite a fascinating journey.
Of course, those interested in sharing their blog and not finding it linked can email to share the address.
