Because you can never have too much of a good thing, we launched several new blogs recently. I know what you're thinking: All the world needs is another blog, especially one from a news organization. But give us a chance -- I think these new blogs will find their own slice of audience.

Mariners Insider: Sportswriter Larry LaRue is covering the Seattle Mariners for the 20th season, so you better believe he has the inside scoop. He's also a prolific photographer so his blog won't just be a bunch of baseball statistics.

Open House: OK, this is a re-launch of a blog that went dark for a few months while we were between real estate reporters. Devona Wells has taken over and we're hoping she'll build an even more robust community.

The Inside Lane: Sportswriter Mindi Rice is going to tap into the popularity of motorsports in our area, dishing on NASCAR, Kasey Kahne, and the local track action.

In Your Neighborhood: This one's for you. Dozens of readers of the newspaper (and web site) have signed up to contribute observations and opinions about items of local interest.

We've had suggestions that a business blog about economic development should be our next addition. What do you think?
