As you can see, the site has been redesigned with the home page appearing in blog format. All of the former content is still very much available for viewing by selecting the links you see on this page or by accessing through the Sitemap.
If you are wondering about the format change, the purpose is to make the site more interactive. I’d like to hear more often from readers, encourage contributions and sharing of Holyoke history though photos, stories, biographies, genealogies — whatever you have to offer. With this type of format, it has the potential to become a dynamic and fun.
You will be seeing me add a few posts weekly — bits and blurbs of whatever strikes my fancy — but all related in some way to Holyoke.
I do hope to see you participate — I only ask that people act like respectful adults. No brickbats allowed here — I am of the opinion that people have the ability to express a dissenting opinion without anger, profanity, name-calling and the like. To that end I will be moderating comments — not censoring, but with the goal of spam avoidance and testing the waters (until I am able to get some of these elements automated).
Thank you — and welcome to the new HolyokeMass.com site.
