about angela_the golo editor

I am the Managing Editor of GOLO. I've worked in broadcast, print and online news for 15 years in multiple markets including Cleveland, Tampa, West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. I moved to the area with my family in February 2007 and have had the pleasure of watching this community grow from its infancy.

There is still so much more to come here at GOLO, so stay tuned. I think you're gonna like it here.

Thank you for the response. This person is friends only now so I'm not able to comment. Whenever they open up their profile again, I'll do the same and ask if the button shows on my profile.

angela,

if they remove a pic from a story ( the pic a person pics to go with the blog ) if you all remove it, REMOVE IT cause it still shows me the picture is there even though its been removed

The cantaloupe festival was exactly what you would have expected. A lot of home town folks, lots of crafts, lots of blue grass and country music, plenty of fresh cantaloupe and homemade ice cream. Also a lot of restored farm equipment (tractors, generators, etc.) that were very interesting to look at and watch work.

I am a LEO as well!

os, how do i get you my email?

*so

done, sorry.

that guesses blog was a hoot

Angela, I don't understand how someone that brags about being "promoted" x amount of times and then says something to someone about they got her "promoted" two times can consistently get new ID's and stay on the website. I haven't been reported ever as far as I know and I try to be nice but could you please explain to me why Willow continues to be allowed to be promoted?

Hope you have a relaxing weekend planned! Stay outta the heat.

Moo.

Wow! I got a comment of the day! Wonders never cease! Yes, Mr. G liked his vodka, but it was hard on his stomach, so he mixed it with milk. When I was stationed in Germany, I tasted a drink called "Kumilch schnapps" (sp?) - cow milk schnapps. It was pretty tasty, too! Have a great weekend.

Angela, Tawny posted a great blog tonight with a link to a CBS story that originally aired in 1978. I wanted to send you the link to her blog in case you missed it over the weekend.

I wish they had done an update!

Hi Angela! hope you're weekend's going well.....i had an idea that would help browsing blogs go a bit easier.....checking back on blogs one is interested in, it would be helpful if, from the long-form listing i see once i hit "more......", one could see the number of posts a blog has next to the blog title.....then one could know if anything new is posted before having to click each blog again and again, artificially driving up the view score......on NASCAR.com's boards, which i used to haunt, each individual could see "new post(s)" next to threads in action which meant at least one new post had been made since the last time you perused that thread.....that's likely a lot more work to have every single user get that message based on personal history as opposed to a "one-trick-fits-all" such as i described, mine just requires each user to keep a tally for themselves.....so maybe it would be doable? thanks for your time, and keep cool! :)

Angela.... we have something in common.. no mother.... she's around now that I can do stuff for her.... but that's about it.... we're self taught strong women and thanks for aunties and grandmothers for taking up slack.

still would be nice to have a little star or something next to the people on your friends list that are online...

Oh, Angela, sorry, I just saw your request. Heading to take care of it right now.

Hey Angela, me again. I just want to sincerly apologize for not changing my blog sooner. I rarely check my profile, so I didn't see it for a long time. I didn't want you to think I was just thumbing my nose at you. Thank you for leaving it up.

what the jrivas2958 the jethrosexual GOLO member since July 26, 2009 July 27, 2009 8:31 p.m. Delete Block Ignore.......ANGELA...SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HIJACK MY PROFILE BY DOING THIS ?????? calling themself jrivas295(8) who is this and can they get away with this?????

Angela....all weekend and now at night. Whenever I put up a picture. One of your GOLO moderators keeps taking it down. They even put up a profile that was a blatant attempt to impersonate me. IE jrivas295(8) the jethrosexual. Can you find out who is doing this and put a stop to it? The pictures this weekend were of hot rods and pretty women...Ive strictly adhered to TOS and there was nothing obscene or even suggestive about these pictures. This is obviously someone that I have put on ignore, but becaause they are an after hours moderator, they can see my posts??? Please go back over my last few blogs and let me know why the pictures were blocked for other viewers.

Hey lady! I hope you are doing well. I just saw this blog and thought it would be a great idea for page 1 of GOLO. http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5674814/ Doc is a Vietnam Veteran and is a very special person to so many of us here on GOLO. He even has a puppy he named GOLO. Would you consider putting this on the main page? Any vote for Doc out help. Thank you so much. Hope all is well for you.

ok make that he had a puppy names golo... too sad to put it in words. Have a great night

Booting someone for misbehaving on here doesn't work. Please read...

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5684770/

This is JRIVAS formerly known as " THE JETHROSEXUAL" I got booted off of GOLO for posting a picture of a fat girl in a bikini. But I was allowed to re register??? So I'm back as "The Jethrosexual one". Everyone who was on my friends list send me an invite, or I will try to remember you all and send you one, so dont be all confused an stuff... NO MORE FAT PICTURES.......but it was FUNNY !!!

God bless.

Angela, you know that Sandra is one of the best parts of GOLO and draws a fairly large nice civilized morning crowd. I think WRAL should offer her a paid column on the website and try to make money syndicating her daily offerings. Maybe her daily blog could be offered under the good news tab on the main page. Yeah, I know you are not a newspaper but her blog definitely draws people here and could become a revenue source for both WRAL and Sandra.

then why dont you guys stop letting people report me for no reason, there are those that lie in wait to hit that button, i really hope what you mean the other day in your blog about those who hit that button to much

What happened with the article naming contest from monday?

If you ask people to enter personal information, then they will be weary of joining the site. I know that I would not want to enter too much information up front. Especially if I didnt know that much about it. I would assume it was some sort of scam. Now that I'm here, and I know why, and for what, I would be willing to share such info with you Angela. But I would have never joined if I had to enter it just to join.

I have a question: Suppose you have a blog post that has a picture on it. If you edit the blog and add another picture, it removes the old one. So why is there a check box to remove the old picture? Or am I missing something?

Afternoon...re:"milk and vodka"..makings of a White Russian. great drink. Wiki recipe @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Russian_(cocktail)

Angela- I read that I won one of the 4pack of tickets to the Dino Trail but I have not yet gotten an e-mail about the tickets!!

Angela, I was working and missed the blog on what information I would be willing to give out. Since I pretty much put up everything but my SSN, I will give you anything but that for the private files. I don't want any more posted on my profile than I already have there.

Angela, I just now saw your blog on what information we'd be willing to give out to join this site. Goodness, why can't people just use the tools given to them already? I was reading the comments on that blog and just shaking my head at some and laughing at others. Is it really stalking because someone makes references to cheese puffs? Oh my, I served cheese puffs as a treat yesterday morning to the daycare children and used it as a learning tool. We read the back of the bag, discussed the ingredients (did you know they contain calcium and protein?) and wrote a letter to the company about our activity. But will I now be banned bacause I made a reference to cheese puffs on GOLO? it's ridiculous is what it is

If people feel threatened online due to comments, BLOCK and IGNORE. If they are being threatened through emails and phone calls and other means, utilize their local law enforcement

this is just sad

thank you, Angela, for your well wishes. My weekend can only get better. My son's car was stolen then used by the teenagers in a rash of breaking and enterings. The police caught the dumb ones in the act,,chased them (to the detriment of my son's car), caught to of the little snots who are now singing the names of everyone else involved, and we are dealing with insurance companies and repair shops.

The last few days have been a nightmare so my weekend can only get better. I hope you have a GREAT weekend and get to Scotland Neck and check out Sylvan Heights. While you are there, there are some local haunted legends I can share with you, best visited in the dark, of course

:) It's worth the effort Angela...but be wary...they are much, much more potent than they seem to be. But oh so delicious.

Happy weekend Angela! Thank you for continuing to do a great job.

Angela,

I would never ask this in any way other than with complete humility....

Please take a look at this blog and see if it can make the front page....http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5713906/

I would love for my friends in grief to be able to recognize the many people their loved one can touch in her death as she did in her life....

On chat, what do I do with this?

Registered User Login (third party) Thirdparty ID: Your Username: Token:

"Hey there: You made some good points on my proof of identity blog from last week, etc..."

Thanks. I used to work for WSU in Detroit. They had a "confer" system that ran on a 1 off operating system that was supported by UofM, MSU, RPI, several Canadian universities, and a few others I can't remember. This "confer" system was very similar in function to golo, expect the "groups" had options to allow or not allow users. They also had the option of being "Public" to all users that had IDs to use the Universities' computers. (They also had contracts with several military branches for private/secure conferences).

Where they had the edge on golo is that *every* User ID had was attached to a known user, so no one could really get out of line.

More some other time...

Cheers.

Angela,

By now you would have received my email. Your word are kind and I received word from the family through "facebook" that the blog was indeed medicine for the soul....

Thank you again for allowing the opportunity for Brenda's story to reach out both to here family and to the many who may feel a connection with such a tragic event....

You are the greatest.....

Dang my eyes are fuzzy this morning....too early and I type too fast....

Have a blessed day and I will work on my spelling lessons....:)

LOL!! You must listen to the song. It sure sounds like "livin on toast and time" to me!!

Hey Angela. What happened to my blog about the bees? One minute there, next minute not. Can you work that some magic on the bees?

OH!! Thanks.

Angela,

You will be pleased to know that the blog post I requested reached the family it was written to comfort. I received an email from my friend within a few days of posting expressing his gratitude for the tribute to his loved one.....

Without your support this may have never happened....

Once again thank you for granting me the opportunity to use this forum as a way to help someone in such a personal fashion....

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5742224/

Willow did the cutest blog,,you have got to check it out.
