			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to the Metro-East.com website! We have started this Developers' Blog to help let you know know what's going on here at Metro-East.com, and what's coming soon. We also will be reviewing comments on these posts for ideas and thoughts that our users (YES, that means you, too!) have about features on the site, what we could do to improve things, and what we might be able to add to better help our fellow M-E'ers.

Yes, we do know that there are things that do not work on the site, and we are busy working on them. We are trying hard to keep 'broken' items to a minimum. But if there is something that may not be obvious, please post a comment or email us. We definitely want to hear from our users. 

Also, if you are a local website owner, or someone who provides data/information to any of the Metro-East areas, and think that others could use the information, please contact us about possible integration into the Metro-East.com site. We are completely customizing the site and we would love to hear from any and all of you with thoughts on how we could develop it. 

Thank you for visiting Metro-East.com and our developers' blog. We look forward to working for and with you to provide a comprehensive and informative site.
