The Community

The lifeblood of any blog is its readers and commenters. Spring Training '09 is no different, in fact, we're going to try to take it one step further. I'd love for a large part of the content for this site to be generated by you, the readers. On the home page, you probably noticed a slideshow. You can also see it at the bottom of this page. All of the photos for this slideshow will be user-generated. Either bloggers writing for the site, or readers submitting their own photos.

I think this is going to be a great way to share the experience of Spring Training with any readers who won't be able to make it to camp, as well as good way to gain insight into the teams and players that we're going to be following for the next 8 months. If you'd like to submit a photo, please send it to this e-mail address. If you've uploaded video you shot to YouTube, or another service, send me the link. If you have a story you'd like to share, send it along in the body of the e-mail.

Everyone who contributes will get credit, so please be sure to leave your name in the e-mail, if you have a blog, put the URL in there as well and we'll link to it when we put the photo up.

Here's the e-mail address one more time. Thanks in advance for contributing to the site.
