It has become a labor of love now.  The Naples News section compiled news every three hours from all of the major and many of the minor publications in Collier County, FL, including the Naples Daily News, Naples Sun Times, Marco Island Sun Times, and even many off the wall sources which are difficult to find, even through Google.  The Naples Websites section is a unique compilation of local websites for residents and visitors alike, and the power of Naplesplus is that one can freely add their own Naples based websites to the list, without having to beg or plead! Naplesplus has a Wiki philosophy, where the intelligence of the participants increases the greater good.
