As you can see, the Old Glory Blog has a completely new design. Our desire is to make it simple and more readable. We feel that the background colors and wide screen format help do just that.
Up to now, the topics of our posts have been pretty much whatever has come to mind. Starting Monday, December 22nd, we are launching a new format for this Blog in order to provide some structure and cohesiveness.
Here's our new format of weekly topic categories:
Monday – Product Reviews, Discounts & Other Specials
We will review and provide information on a product that Shining Star Flags & Bandanas sells, discounts that are currently offered and information on any other specials that may be available.
Tuesday – The Military Minute
Unfortunately, a very large majority of the news relating to our military and its mission on the mainstream media is negative. We will attempt to bring good news home from the military front, whether it's success on the battlefield, human interest stories or the good deeds the military is doing for local populations.
Wednesday – NewsFront
We will comment on or provide an opinion piece on various issues of the day from world news, national news, the economy or politics.
Thursday – T.O.P. G.U.N.
Every Thursday we'll have a post that will do one or more of the following:
T – Thank our troops for their service and sacrifices
O – Offer our time by volunteering to help servicemen and women in need
P – Provide assistance in the form of donations
G – Give back to those who give everything
U – Understand what servicemen and women and their families are going through
N – Non-profit organizations will be identified to assist all of those who would like to help
Friday – Free For All Friday
We will post a message on any topic that we like and feel is relevant to our Blog, our business or our mission of honoring our flag and country.
We have also added Pentagon TV to our Blog. According to its website, the Pentagon Channel broadcasts military news and information for the 2.6 million members of the U.S. Armed Forces through programming including:
- Department of Defense news briefings
- Military news
- Interviews with top Defense officials
- Short stories about the work of our military
In addition to enhancing Department of Defense communications with the 1.4 million active duty service members, the Pentagon Channel will provide the 1.2 million members of the National Guard and Reserve and the 650,000 civilian employees of the Department of Defense more timely access to military information and news.
You are able to “mute” the audio if the background noise bothers you while you read our posts.
If you have any comments on the design of this Blog or the proposed format, we'd love to hear from you. What we do is not written in stone, so if our readers like or don't like something, let us know.
