Welcome to the Notting Hill Community Blog

The internet address for the blog is http://nottinghillmelbourne.blogspot.com/ so you might want to bookmark it.
I am using http://www.blogger.com/ and Google email for the site.
I have called it Notting Hill in Melbourne to deter traffic about that other famous Notting Hill in London and that annoying film of the same name that has that simpering actor Hugh Grant in it.
The blog has been set up for and by the residents of the suburb of Notting Hill to allow them to exchange information and news, and discuss issues affecting them, or of interest to the community.
Notting Hill is our cosy little suburb in the vast south east suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
It is near Monash University and bounded by the freeways and arterial roads of the suburbs.
I will be putting up links about Notting Hill and invite contributions from anyone interested.
This weblog is under construction and probably always will be. I hope it will be built by all of us.

Users can have their say in several ways.

  • I will post news and items of interest regularly on the site. Users can then comment on the posting adding their voice and opinion to the conversation.
  • If people want to make a posting rather than a comment then they can email me at nottynews@gmail.com with their reports, items or concerns and I will put them up as a posting.
  • Alternatively if anyone wants to post I can assign authoring access to them to they can post when ever they want to and invite comments on their postings.

The blog is currently a public blog and we will see how it goes. If it is gets too much spam or misuse we can make it a private blog and restrict access to those who want it.
I look forward to putting up news items, copies of correspondence, statements, media releases, reports, advices, pctures and what ever else takes our fancy.

Whoops! looks like you need a free Google email accxount to comment They did not tell me this.
Also it does not allow anonymous comments.
If we don't like it I will switch to other software. It is not a problem.
Vincent testing comments - not happy at the moment but working to see if it can be changed.
