Whenever a business starts up there is always a parallel path of forward movement.
You want to be "open for business" and generating revenue as soon as possible, but not before you are fully prepared.
You want to have enough of a staff to support the business, but you also need to have money to pay them.
And you want people to know about your business, but you want to be at your very best when greeting the public.
So it is with St. Thomas Source. We have labored down that parallel path for two months trying to coordinate our timing with the site developers and local events, while doing the massive amount of work required to start a "newspaper" — with one staff person and a handful of gracious, talented and energetic volunteers.
The site is up, and is getting a lot of attention. It is a work in progress and will continue to be so. It is the blessing and the curse of this new world of the Internet to be constantly in a state of flux.
Every day will bring more changes and more information to you, our readers.
We welcome your input and your contributions. We are grateful to our advertisers who believe in this project. And we are grateful to the people of St. Thomas and the world who are already giving us input and encouragement.
Please e-mail your comments or letters to source@viaccess.net. The open forum section of the St. Thomas Source is set aside for your commentary.
This is truly a grass-roots venture. We welcome your communications.
