Working with the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations, Sherry Howard Communications LLC (SHC) will create a network of user-generated community blog sites for 10 CDC member sites and their neighborhood clients. The CDC is a nonprofit organization that seeks to rebuild and revitalize low-income neighborhoods in Philadelphia through housing, economic development and advocacy. SHC will set up Word Press blogs for each site, and train and guide the users on how to blog about news and events, sports, people and other subjects of interest in their neighborhoods. Each CDC site, in consultation with SHC, will come up with their own blog features, based on what’s most important in their own community, including photo uploads; calendar of events; e-alerts & e-newsletters; a discussion board, expert Q&A forums, people pages, and blogs for individuals and communities of interest. Ultimately, the network will be supported by advertisers in the individual communities, and will become a source of news information for the local media.
