Where can you get a good plate of fish ‘n’ chips in Bakersfield?

What preschools do local parents recommend?

What bands are playing this weekend?

When you have local questions, Bakersfield.com and its sister Web sites have answers! Here’s where you would go for the above:

Answer 1: Visit the Inside Guide business reviews at Bakersfield.com.

Answer 2: Post your question on a journal at RaisingBakersfield.com.

Answer 3: Check out the events calendar at Bakotopia.com.

The Bakersfield Californian and its affiliates operate nine local Web sites, which offer not only news and community information, but also a social networking platform for you to create your own profile, meet people with similar interests, and post blogs, articles, events, photo galleries and videos.

And the best part about our Web sites is participation is free!

Which sites fit your interest?

Bakersfield.com: News, information and opinion about Bakersfield and beyond.

RaisingBakersfield.com Parenting and family life.

MasBakersfield.com: Hispanic culture and community.

NorthwestVoice.com: Northwest Bakersfield neighborhoods.

SWVoice.com: Southwest Bakersfield neighborhoods.

Bakotopia.com: Music and counter-culture.

KernLife.com: Everything about living in Kern, with expanded listings from Kern Life magazine.

BakersfieldLife.com: Features from Bakersfield Life magazine.

Tehachapinews.com: News and events in Tehachapi.

What other advantages do these sites offer?

Think of our sites like MySpace or Facebook, just with a local twist. We already have thousands of registered users across all of our sites.

If you are involved with a club or organization, you can create a profile with information about your group and how to join. You can then post articles and photos about your organization, and events for the events calendar.

If you are new to the area or looking to meet new people, you can search the sites by “interests” to find others who are into the same things as you.

If you own a local business, you can “claim” your profile on Bakersfield.com’s Inside Guide and offer special deals to your fans.

If you like to blog, write articles, take photos or make videos, you can post them to our sites for publication. Or use your profile as an online scrapbook to keep friends and family updated on your life.
