One exciting feature of the new www.Bland.com is our "News and Announcements from the Community" feature. This feature permits registered users of the website to submit and self approve news and announcements in a variety of categories. Available categories include "Community & Civic Organizations", "Churches & Religious Groups", "Charitable Organizations", "Local Business News", "Local Schools & Educational Institutions", "Sports & Recreation", "Death Notices & Obituaries", "Job Promotions, Awards & Honors", "Governmental", "Birth Announcements", "Marriages", "Fairs & Festivals", and "Local News." This feature also allows us, upon receipt of a request from you, to create a special subcategory for any individual group, and the ability to post and approve news under this subcategory can be restricted to members of your group designated by you.
