Portsmouth Web Site Announces History Blog

VISIT Newest Blog Now

UPDATE: We've already retooled our blog into a more "blog-like"  format. INstead of a monthly blog with updates, each blog will have its own Web page. You can reach the latest blog by clicking on the navigation bars at the left and top of every page on this site, or by going to SeacoastBlog.com from any browser. To go there now, click the link above.


SeacoastNH.com is focusing its attention on history. So much is going on in this "heritage destination" that we simply cannot take it all in. All content starting in 2009 will focus on the exciting tales from the past.

Award-winning history writer J. Dennis Robinson will post quicker, shorter essays whenever new topics appear. The Seacoast Blog will include personal comments, behind-the-scenes info available nowhere else, rambles, tips on places to go and see – whatever comes across the SeacoastNH.com desk.

Robinson’s decision to join the blogosphere is a matter of survival. "My desk is piled with topics to write about," he says, "that I will never live to finish. Blogging is a way of getting more info out to the Internet faster – not fully fleshed out – but no longer festering in a filing cabinet."

Blogging is also a means of keeping up with the flood of events that are going on in the "heritage community" in the Seacoast region. National Geographic recently named Portsmouth, NH, home base of this web site, the sixth most historic town in the nation. Although no one is sure exactly what that means, it is true that there are more heritage spots to visit in this tiny region (per capita and per square mile) than in many towns 10 times the size of Portsmouth. The entire Seacoast region, founded 400 years ago, is rich with historic sites, houses, museums, archives, collections, monuments, walking trails, and more.

"Don’t expect fine literature here," Robinson warns. "Good history writing takes a long time. Topics here will appear in a brief rapid-fire format. But at least they will appear. Stuff that fits no where else, will end up in Seacoast Blog."

Content will be organized onto a new web page each month with newest content pushed down as fresh material is posted at the top. When possible, links to existing pages will be added, as well as pictures, hotlinks to outside sites. Readers who want to comment or add info can click on FEEDBACK and submit items to Read Our Mail which has been posted in a similar monthly fashion since the site opened in 1997.

"You know," Robinson adds, "we were doing this back in the 1990s. We started with a section called THIS JUST IN, long before the days of blogging." Nothing, in your Universe, Horatio, is really new.
