This probably comes under the heading of "you never know where you'll find new talent." But there's this guy working just down the hall, writing and editing for the Press Herald editorial page. I've seen him around the building but that's about it. One day, we get to talking and it turns out he's into making videos. I check out some of his stuff, and it's pretty good, and funny too. So I ask if he'd like to try doing a video blog.

The rest isn't history -- yet -- but
Roger McCord's "vlog" is one piece of the new MaineToday.com.
We're working to make MaineToday.com more useful, while also giving it lots of voice and personality. As our newspaper brands continue to expand the news mission of Blethen Maine Newspapers online, you're going to see (and hear) more and different voices on the MaineToday.com brand.

I know I'll hear lots of, "That doesn't belong on a newspaper site." You're right, which is one reason we're doing it.

Just check it out. If you like it, you can say so, right on
Roger's vlog. Same if you don't.
