I emailed Bob a few times about getting the blog/website going - no response...I get responses on other stuff but nothing on this.

I think the blog can be a great communication tool between us and Bob.  I suggested he could post the following:

-pictures

-drilling updates

-general mine progress updates (weekly or bi weekly update directly from him)

-equipment purchases

-shipment confirmation

-any other "boring" mine news/happenings

Bob might think this is all boring stuff but I feel to us this will be great. We would get updates directly from the company and Bob wont have to answer/send a lot of emails.

If someone talks to Bob please try to convince him the get the blog/website going again
