Hi readers. It’s me, news reporter Sharyn Decker.<\/p>\n

I have to apologize you haven’t gotten a whole lot of news the last several days. I’ve been sicker than a dog for the past week.<\/p>\n

I’m going to tell you about a couple of things before I go take another nap.<\/p>\n

Some of you might know that Lewis County Sirens has a group page on Facebook.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty darn cool. As I understand it, if you “friend” the page – join the group – then whenever I post a news item, my headline and an excerpt will pop up on your Facebook home page news feed.<\/p>\n

For those who belong to Facebook and keep it open throughout the day, that means you don’t have to keep checking in at Lewis County Sirens to see if there are new news stories.<\/p>\n

Just type “Lewis County Sirens” in the search box on your Facebook page and after you get to the Lewis County Sirens Facebook page<\/a>, then click “join” near the top.<\/p>\n

If you don’t already belong to Facebook, well, you have to join<\/a> first.<\/p>\n

Also, there is this relatively new local web site called Lewis-County.org<\/a><\/p>\n

I believe it was started mostly as a chat forum by former Lewis County Buzz and Lewis County Goes2Find chatters.<\/p>\n

It has other stuff, like games I guess. But, at the bottom of its home page is a news feed where headlines with links pop up for Lewis County Sirens. I was really flattered when I discovered Lewis-County.org added an RSS feed from my news site to their web site.<\/p>\n

So it’s the same idea as Facebook; if you happen to have their site open throughout the day, you will learn automatically when I have posted a new story.<\/p>\n

On their forum page, under “main” and “news” you will see “Local News RSS<\/a>“. That’s where they all discuss local news stories.<\/p>\n

I don’t think you have to join to take advantage of these features on their site, although I suspect they’d like it if you did.<\/p>\n

Neither of those web sites cost anything to use.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
