v-i-l-l-a-g-e-s-n-e-w-s.com is the result of someone following that classic marketing advice, "Find a niche and fill it." -- (If you leave out all those hyphens except the one between the words villages and news, you should be able to find the online newspaper that has its name blocked by TOTV.)

Yes. I read it. I read pretty much anything I find about TV.

I do wish the editor would do a little housekeeping to make things easier to navigate........

The bar across the top of the page says Opinions where I think it should say Columns. As the paper has gone through its growing pains, some things seem to have been shuffled around. I like to read the column by Barry Evans and also the one by the guy who writes health stuff and the entertainment reviewer. Their columns are under "Opinions." Even though columns are often mostly opinions, I think these regular writers are columnists and should be indexed under columns.

And speaking of opinions, I do not find anything under Letters to the Editor except how to submit a letter, which I do not want to do. I just want to read what others have written.

Also, every now and then, it looks like the proofreading did not happen. -- And yes, I know I bastardize the heck outa punctuation and all kinds of other things, but that's different......

Oh well, Meta Minton has not contacted me and asked me how to run her paper. But that has not stopped me from taking the opportunity here to go on and on with unsolicited advice about how to make it more reader-friendly and/or better organized.

There is good reason for the success of Meta Minton's online news. She has found a niche and is filling it.

Read on. I intend to.
