Changes to the blog

As stories come in following sporting events, an encapsulated version will now appear on the blog, while the full story will be featured in the next week's newspaper. This way you can still get the basic idea of how things went, scores, etc., but you'll have to check out the paper to get the full info. The first examples of this can be seen in the posts below. We'll call these "game blasts" for future reference.

This will not affect perhaps the most popular feature of the sports blog, which are the photo galleries from the games, which will still be added following game coverage (they are also linked in the printed paper).

Another thing we've started doing (we'll see how it goes) but we just started a Twitter account as a way to update people of what is going on with the blog. For example if you were a follower of the blog (www.twitter.com/cosports) you would have found out that we added a game blasts from the Ilwaco-Warrenton baseball game and from the Naselle baseball/softball match-ups with Pe Ell.

So hang in there as we continue to bring you the best coverage of local sports!
