I meant the first newsroom blog in the Bay Area, but it's good to hear about your previous experience, and I really do wish you well. I guess my post was a little snarky, and I apologize for that. I will subscribe to your blog once it's up and running.</p> Thanks, Brittney, for stopping by.

You are correct in assuming that the KPIX blog will be less self-focused. In fact, besides having a point of view about topics the site won't be about me at all. I've been writing that personal blog in various incarnations for almost eight years, and it is a personal web journal in all that that entails. The blog I will write for CBS is to be a portal of blogs of all types produced in the Bay Area--the focus is on the people behind them. I look forward to adding this one to our blogroll and aggregator once they are up and running. You said, "KPIX, television Channel 5, has hired a full-time blogger named Brittney Gilbert. This is the first blogger hire by a local newsroom* Actually, the first blogger hire was in Nashville back in 2004. I was hired by WKRN to run a blog aggregator for them a few years ago, which led to this opportunity in the Bay Area. Anyway, hope you'll stop by once we've launched.
