My Sister Jean Put it Best: CM Picture Therapy for the blues In a time of reflection in ColumbiaMagazine! 's 25th year history - first as a print publication and then as a print/internet and finally, a pure play 365 day a year, 24/7 internet site, we rediscovered one of the main reason's for the site's success. The look back produced nagging questions. The biggest one is why, with the jump we have on upstarts Google and Facebook - how those newcomers grew to a little bigger - we assume, than CM. That's a puzzle we're still studying. But CM Picture Therapy is not. When we tried the folk remedy, it worked for us. Click on headline for complete story, photo(s) By Ed Waggener The Factotum at CM 
Jean Cravens, one of my three little sisters - Annette Richards and Fay McKinley being the other two - put it best: "The pictures on ColumbiaMagazine.com are a favorite pastime of mine. Whenever I'm blue I just start thumbing through the pictures (she does it using Photo Archive). I call it 'Picture Therapy.'" Her favorites are the scenic ones; she's partial to the kids pictures, and she always compliments Linda's photos first. That's a family thing. It will be different for other families, all of whom will have another favorite CM contributing photographer.I've often wondered if anyone has ever started through photo archives and gone all the way back, page by page. I tried it this morning going December 26 by December 26, using the slide shows on each day, and only got to December 26, 2012, before spotting a story: Just two years ago, in 2010, Johnnietta Jessie sent a keepsake photograph of one of the prettiest scenes on the planet, the Metcalfe County Historic Courthouse lawn covered with a fresh coat of snow and with all the Christmas decorations so perfectly arranged. We still don't have the search tools - even with the addition of Google Site Specific Site searches - but with the search by date tool in Daily News it's easy to poke around and see what was going on in our part of the world on a given day in the last 16 years. CM is moving into its 25th year this year. We didn't go to the web until 1996, which makes CM a relative baby in the media world, but a hoary pioneer on the internet. We're still perplexed. Google wasn't even founded until two years later, in 1998; Facebook wasn't founded until 2004. They are babies on the internet compared to CM. And both are now bigger than we are. How did that happen? Only if you have time - or need some Picture Therapy - we'd recommend probing around the site just browsing. Click on a few recent thumbnails to see how that opens up additional information. Visit CM as a Daily Newspaper and see how handy that tool, which is now some two years old, works. Especially for readers, researchers, genealogists, and even competitive media (they're welcome to use to see what was going on; of course our litigious side comes out if illegal use is made of the material). It lets everyone be instant historian by dialing in pages from the past. If you have time, we hope you'll take some trips down memory lane and get some Picture Therapy, whether you need or not. And for someone as ambitious as Billy Joe Fudge was when he became, to our knowledge, the First Adair Countian Ever to 'Fly' the full length of Green River on Google Earth - Maybe someone will start on CM Photo Archives and thumb through about 4,000 pages of 5 photo(s) each and send a critique on the research, after doing so. CM was actually started for that experience, but over the years, it evolved to meet a new challenge: Our main goal is to give the most information about living in part of the world in the least time - using the fewest clicks possible - to provide a simple utility for the people of Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell, and Taylor Counties.Or, to put it briefly: Trying to see that no work which ought not be did, be done. That remains our goal and biggest challenge for 2013, and we'll never forget that there is far too much going on in South Central Kentucky for anybody to be tethered to a media device. Even CM. But for those who just want to surf a website, to while away some time just to enjoy, there's that too. Picture Therapy is an added benefit. And our thanks to sister Jean for letting us know. Scroll down for a little tutorial on using CM as a Daily Newspaper. If you have time to do so today. Thanks. -EW This story was posted on 2012-12-26 04:07:58
