Media WW’s Not-Blog is a Blog, Dammit!
Posted by on Mon, Nov 13 at 11:23 AM
Willamette Week’s “Not a blog, dammit” is finally up—prematurely? The site has some filler content on it (like “Just a few words, explaining” as a placeholder for a tagline), no graphics, and just some AP wire-style local content.
Also: The main webpage calls is WWire, but the blog page calls it… WWEEK.COM BLOG. Catchy.
(Oh, wait! I just found a WWire page that’s a little more polished… so maybe I found the blog.wweek.com thing accidentally? Sorry guys!)
UPDATE 12:36 pm: The blog page has been spiffed up—there’s now an orange banner at the top, impossibly bright blue boxes, and it’s back to being called WWire.

If it isn't meant to be the public face, shouldn't it be inaccessible to the public?
The bottom of their spiffed up page still needs some spiffing up apparently. Under the header "About" it says:
About
You have no about page, you should add one through the admin interface, or edit 'footer.php' and put some super cool information here!
They must have paid a pretty penny to get Borat to write on their blog! (Sorry, non-blog.)

It's not completely configured; this isn't meant to be the public face of the blog. This is just the entry for the Wordpress install they're using to power the not-blog. The good thing, though, as I wrote just now at OMI, is that this page has the elusive--and working--RSS feed linked.
