Make PCBDaily Your Home Page

I have a question for you:  what page opens up automatically when you open a new Internet window?  Does your browser open up this as your starter page because you set it, or because that’s the way it came?

Well, if you want PCBDaily to be the first page you see when you open up your browser window, I made a quick video on how to do it!

Thanks to the Readers of PCBDaily

This holiday season we wanted to thank you for your continued support of PCBDaily over the years.  We’ve grown tremendously since we started blogging about Panama City Beach in September of 2006, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

This time last year, we were talking about the airport and the runway extension, offered some tasty suggestions for Thanksgiving dinner, and the elimination of the Y at Highway 79 and Front Beach Road.  Interestingly enough, in 2008 we talked about Black Friday deals (Target didn’t open until 6 am), a free movie at The Grande, Seahaven auction details, and an airport construction update video.  In 2007, we were talking about the TDC, condo sales being down, and mortgage rates hitting a six month low.

We have some exciting content planned for 2011 and tons of great ideas coming up.  Tell us some of the things you’d like to hear about in the comments below.

Now Hiring: Blogger, Marketing Assistant

If you’ve been wanting a dream job that’s flexible, cutting edge (cheesy term, I know) and right in the middle of the action, this could be the opportunity for you.

We’re looking to hire a part time blogger for PCBDaily who will also assist the CYber SYtes marketing department and help with social media.

This job will be a 20 hour a week position and is pretty flexible in that most weeks, you’ll be able to work just about when you want, during regular business hours.  You can come in late, leave early, work on Saturday and take Friday off if you need to – you get the picture.

Fall Back Your Clocks This Weekend

Don’t forget this is the weekend to set your clocks back an hour.  This Sunday morning, November 7th at 2 am, clocks should be moved back one hour, taking an hour away from daylight in the evening and giving it to the morning.

Each year, standard time begins on the first Sunday of November and ends on the second Sunday in March – which will fall on March 13, in 2011.

Named Daylight Savings Time, this was formally started in the US in the early 1900’s, but isn’t followed in Hawaii or Arizona.  If you’re thinking we’re changing our clocks back later in the year, it’s because in 2007, the length of Daylight Savings Time was extended a month in 2007.

In Panama City Beach, our “winter” time brings the dark early, at around 5 pm every day, since we are so close to the eastern time zone.  Winters are warm, here though, with some of the most scenic beach times happening in the months of November, December and January.

First Family to Vacation in Panama City Beach

Like him or not, President Obama and his family might be in Panama City Beach for a “personal” vacation August 14 to enjoy our emerald green waters and crystal white sand, the same as hundreds of thousands of tourists do each year.  Note the word, “might”, used in the first sentence.

Local media outlets owned by Freedom Communication (News Herald, Walton Sun, and the Northwest Florida Daily News) have all reported that they will be vacationing in Panama City Beach.  However, the only release I can find states that they will be visiting the Gulf Coast area with the specific area being, at this time, undisclosed.
