Overall, I like the site. The "fun up-tempo art community" is routinely discussed in Linda Postenreider's blog, and there are even photo galleries about various art events that have taken place. What exactly are you looking for?

i find it hard to find the police logs and topics that i found before. example-i wanted to see the forum about the men on howard street. but yesterday and this morning i have had no luck. (may have been taken down) the overall look of this site is white bread when it should funky and hip and fun! shouldn't petaluma be a fun and hip "music, food and booze" wonderland? this site looks like it could be about any town in middle america. that is my biggest complaint. this site doesn't not represent petaluma. dude...the colors are wack. im sure your not getting much help from people either. i would rather see trojan colors...and i went to casa.

I am a fan of this site because it is a HUGE improvement over the old Argus Courier website. As far as this site not representing Petaluma, I agree to a very small point. Here are 2 suggestions: 1) The Flash images on Home page should include more pictures of the beautiful scenery in Petaluma. I have seen some gorgeous pictures of Petaluma in your Photo Contests. Also the Petaluma 360 Logo is okay but I think you can do better. For instance, remove the blue cartoonish buildings and add a real Petaluma picture.

Hello again:

In response to a question about police logs, those are posted 2-3 times weekly as they are received by the Argus-Courier. They appear in the NEWS section of the site, and previous logs can be found by using the "search" feature.

To find a specific forum topic, you can use the "find" feature in the menu above to locate topics by keyword, or choose "Find > Active Topics" to see topics that have recent posts.

The online survey feature connects users to the Argus-Courier's weekly "Pulse of Petaluma" question, which is published in each week's issue along with results of the previous survey. Currently, a third-party survey tool is being used because it offers the functionality and features the newspaper desires for its weekly survey.

Some changes: The online calendar now lists events within a default radius of 15 miles of Petaluma, and the "submit event" link is now functioning properly.

Again, thank you for all of your comments.

Can you please add OAUSD - Old Adobe Union School District to your Forums under 'School talk'? It was there some time ago and now it's gone. Someone posted an event under Petaluma City Schools District and it belongs under OAUSD. Thanks!

I love the fact that I can check at 5 pm and find out what took place in Petaluma everyday! Love the blogs and community comments. It makes it like a daily newspaper. Plus now Petaluma 360 is on Face Book with updates. For busy people it is perfect. Thank you!

How about a section in the Forums for "Volunteers" or "Community Service"?

Folks could post various info, whether they were looking for volunteers, or if they are a volunteer.

I'd like to see some "Clean up our Parks" days.

You had a great article up on your site dated February 18th regarding Black History Month and the program that will take place this Friday, February 27th. This article is now not to be found on your site. Since this event has not taken place yet, it would be great if you kept it up on your A&E page until the event is over. I have found this same problem many times where I will read about an upcoming event, and days later, it is nowhere to be found on Petaluma 360. Please, keep your Petaluma events up until the event date has passed. I understand you have many newer items to post, but do not remove the older items that have not taken place yet. I am fortunate enough to have the time to check your site daily. For people that do not have the time, they will never know this event was posted on your site.

I am enjoying the new website, especially the many photo galleries based on local events. I do think it is too much to have bloggers so prominently on the home page. Couldn't we replace that front page space with something more relevant to most Petalumans and relegate the bloggers to a more modest position?

I like the forums section and the flagging option for catching the occasional too passionate comment is spot on. Keep up the good work.

Your website is filled with Petaluma information and I enjoy reading here every day. When I mention your site to friends they ask, what is Petaluma 360? So maybe word of mouth is how this site will be fully publicized, plus of course, through the Argus Courier newspaper, but not everyone subscribes to this. Promote your great site!

I love it. I am really glad that his blog is available to the community and I think more Petaluma citizens should be aware of it.

Hi, can someone please explain how to use the flagging option? I don't like to see posts that are derogatory to particular individuals. Thanks.

I always enjoy viewing the wonderful Petaluma Photos you put up on your home page. Butter & Egg Days opening ceremonies, 150th book signing, River Heritage Center open house, Local Sports, Achievement Awards, etc., etc. Great pictures!

I have questions and comments regarding your calendar...

Why is it that the events on your calendar do not show up in date order? From your home page, I always select the Go button under the events calendar because I do not want any specific date. I just want to see what's happening around town. From this screen I ALWAYS remove your "Within 15 miles" and change to 3 miles because I only care about Petaluma. But no matter what view I'm in, the events are not in any order. I would love to see a few things happening with this calendar.

1) Have the events show up in date order - please.

2) Change the 15 miles to 3 miles. After all, this is a Petaluma information only website. If I want to see what's happening in the county I will select my mile range.

3) Have the ‘Your Events’ or Calendar buttons stand out on your home page so more people will use this calendar. I can see that many events happening around town do not get posted here. I never remember to check out the calendar because the calendar buttons blend in with everything else.

Other than this, Petaluma 360 is a great, informative website!

To answer some recent questions:

1. To report a post, click on the yellow triangle in the bottom-right corner of the offending posting. You will be asked to fill out a field explaining why you believe the posting has violated the site's Terms of Service, and then click "continue" to send the info to our site administrators.

2. The issue of the calendar's "date order" is controlled by the third-party calendar software provider, Zvents, and cannot be changed currently. However, we are working with the company to fix this. In addition, we are considering revising the mile range and the placement of the calendar on the site pages.

Thanks again for all your feedback!
