This past weekend we unveiled the new skin for Domestic Fuel, our alternative fuels website. Check it out. We’d love to know what you think. We switched to a 3-column blog format to allow us more opportunities for advertising and promotions and to make navigation easier.
ZimmComm Blog Network Review
You can get a ZimmComm blog network update on this week’s ZimmCast. I review some of the highlights of the past week on AgWired, Domestic Fuel and World Dairy Diary.
Sad Day For Ethanol Industry
Rather than update the previous post announcement on this I thought I’d just copy the post from Domestic Fuel:
Race Day Tragedy In Homestead
Here’s a post I wish I didn’t have to write. Actually I was on my way home to link you to the posts we did yesterday about the big opening race of the Indy Racing League in Homestead, FL. That’s because it’s the first race in which all the cars will be running on a blend of ethanol and one …
Follow College Students on Domestic Fuel
The idea of blogging college students seems to be catching on. Over on Domestic Fuel, we’re getting some daily reports from students who are on a cross country tour fueled by E85.

DomesticFuel Blog Takes Off
Posting has been a little light this week but I will have a lot coming out over the next couple days. ZimmComm has been a little busy evolving ever further into the new media world. For that reason we’re changing our name to ZimmComm New Media, LLC. We’re pretty much all about new media now, even though a lot of what we do still involved marketing and communications. As a former colleague used to say about his organization, “We’re a constantly evolving strategy.”

Wichita Residents Embrace Ethanol
The Ethanol Promotion and Information Council has some promotion results to be proud of.

This week MCGA President, Terry Hilgedick, talks about how the ethanol industry has already surpassed next year’s Renewable Fuels Standard production quota. He describes how grower-owned ethanol plant production is increasing in Missouri and looks forward to next spring’s legislative session and Missouri Governor Matt Blunt’s pledge to support a statewide 10% ethanol/gas blend requirement.
