Inside The IE Website, or Inside The IE Blog ??
We've gotten a couple of emails regarding the difference between the Inside the Inland Empire Website, and the Inside the IE Blog - So let me explain.
This is the main website. Here you'll find information about cities in the IE, restaurants, things to do, places to go, etc. Most of the content at the main website is contributed by members and is intended to be a long-term repository of information about the Inland Empire. Anyone can post comments about a web-page, but to create pages of your own, you must sign-up for an account.. Accounts are free, and are necessary to keep the 'riff-raff' out.
You can click here to sign up for an account at the main site. After you create an account you can sign-in and begin creating web pages immediately. Creating a new page is easy: Sign in, click on "Create Content", and pick "Page". Fill out the title of your page, and the main "body" section.. No need to worry about anything else - it's as easy as typing a letter! When you're done, just press SUBMIT. If you have any photos that you would like included, just email them to 'IEdude@insidetheIE.com' and we'll post them on the page for you. Before your page will appear on the site it will be reviewed - this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. After the review, your page will be availble for everyone to see and comment on.
This is the Inside The Inland Empire blog (that's what you're reading now). The blog is a place where registered users can post about virtually anything, as long as it's somehow connected to the Inland Empire. Posts like short-term weather reports, news items, complaints, rants, raves - whatever. Posts that would not be appropriate for the main website (described above) are perfect for the Blog.
The website and the blog are maintained separately (we don't like to keep all our huevos in one basket), so each requires it's own account. To request to become a member of the Inside The IE blog, just send an email to: IEdude@insidetheIE.com and we will send you an invitation form to fill out - 2 minutes later, you can be making posts! Posting to the blog is even easier than creating pages on the main website. Just click the "Post" button, start writing, and press "publish" !
If you have any questions or suggestions for the main site, or the blog, please post them here (in the comments section), or email them to: IEdude@insidetheIE.com
