To all our readers of the Connecticut Post, The News-Times, the Stamford Advocate and Greenwich Time, welcome to the Connecticut Media Group’s brand-spanking-new blogging platform. We think you’re going to like it.

We’ve got blogs about our favorite restaurants, about parenting in 2009 and about toxic soil in our communities. From high school bands to the New York Yankees, and from clocks in Greenwich to pumpkins in Hartford, we have our communities covered.

But we’re just getting started.

Here’s the pitch: We think there are tons of stories to be told within Fairfield County — far more than any one newsroom could ever tell. So we’re reaching out to you to help get those stories told.

If you live in Fairfield County, we want our blogs to be the place you go to stay in touch with the world around you. And we can’t do it without you.

We want you to help us. Send me an e-mail below. Let me know your blog idea, a brief sample of your writing style and, most important, what aspect of Fairfield County you’d like to write about — our music, food, sports, health, technology, traffic and commuting, barbecuing, bars, whatever. Together with our first-class journalists, your blog will help get these stories told.

If you’d like the chance to get featured prominently on four Web sites that together average over 9 million page views a month, drop me a line.

We’re looking forward to reading about you.

Addendum: My good friend Michael J. Daly is keeping me honest, as always. To be more clear, we’re not just interested in Fairfield County but all our local communities: From Greenwich to Milford and from Bridgeport to New Milford. If you have an idea for a blog, let us know.
