'The Wild Life' (and why you should comment)

Outdoors staff writer Mark Taylor has a new blog on roanoke.com called The Wild Life .

I went fishing with him last week to shoot some video, and we came up with the idea for the blog. And I know it will be a hit.

Several years ago when I was a staff photographer, I went hunting with him in Bedford for an assignment. The walls of the hunting cabin were plastered with clips from Taylor's "Outdoors" page from the printed paper.

It seems the guy has a following. But I hope his readers comment and expand on his stories.

Commenting can make the stories much more interesting. Taylor can blog about a great way to tie a fly, and a reader can expand the story by telling the way they tie a fly. This makes the entry more informative.

Hey maybe Taylor can learn something too!
