Understanding the difference between our "News" feature and "User Posted News.
User Posted news is intended to be an organized community "blog" which enables all registered users to submit and self approve for posting news and announcements on a variety of topics relevant to daily life in Danville. That feature is unmoderated, thus registered users have the flexible ability to post news and announcements relative to the topic. Submission to that category will be "pruned" after a reasonable period of time.

The "news" feature is a more moderated news area, where all articles are approved by the website moderator or a vetted contributing writer. We welcome providing serious writers the opportunity to publish articles and stories of the history and heritage of Danville. WE also are open to local writers who wish to write regular columns on a variety of topics (we are open to suggestions) relevant to local readers.
