We are back and we are better than ever

We are proud to announce we are back, a little wiser and a lot excited. In this time frame we have noticed that our current model has to be downsized a little. We could not proceed at the rate we were without investing tremendous resources and completing changing our values, model and goals. The reason [...]

Where are we?

We have been out for a week looking, analyzing and learning new things about ourselves. We do know the needs to be some serious changes to Fluco Blog. To operate with one writer carrying most of the load will not work. We averaged a post a day for most of February, March, April and May. [...]

Rothamel: We need to a little break

You guessed it, we need a break. As you can tell, the past few weeks have had less posts and less activities. This was not an accident. We had to do this and we need more time. Why do we need a break? This experience has been crazy. What was supposed to be a once [...]

Fluco Blog founder heads back to FCHS

I know what you think by the headline. I didn’t go back to Fluvanna County High School to attend class.

As always, discussing journalism [...]

Sometimes we all make mistakes

Sometimes I make mistakes. Sadly, when I make a mistake it hurts those who depend on my articles. I have a mistake in the School Board Budget article.

We need your help

The success of Fluco Blog has been very overwhelming for us. I’ve said it before, we never thought it would get this much publicity. We are not sad at all to have almost 700 fans and 30 views per day. The success and growth has made one thing clear more than ever; we need help. [...]

Covering a major event in a small community

As Senior Writer of Fluco Blog and the Fluco Blog writer who covered the Dr. Smith retirement announcement, I felt it was important to explain how and why I made decisions I did on coverage. Whenever a major event happens, especially one that catches everyone off guard, it is important that the media covers it [...]

Where are we?

I’ve asked myself that question often since Fluco Blog was launched in late October. Let’s see, there are 490 fans on Facebook, multiple credits on other local news organizations and a whole lot of fun. Since launch there have been 2,471 visits. We average 23 visits per day. Together we have had successful breaking news [...]

No more classifieds

Effective immediately, Fluco Blog will no longer offer classifieds. While we always look for ways to improve Fluco Blog, sometimes our tries are unsuccessful. We created our classifieds section on Dec. 10, 2009. Since then the support for classifieds has been nonexistent. We will still offer the popular Fluco Blog Live! webstreams and the community [...]
