This is a nice piece from the Guardian recently on British political blogs - worth keeping an eye on for my revised blogging paper.

By the way - sorry for the intermittent postings over the Christmas period. I'm also going to Ireland tomorrow for a few days, so will be out of blog-commission ("I accuse you of committing a blog...."), and when I get back, it's likely I'll be starting a US campaign blog for the paper, so I'll have to see how that might work alongside everything else I have going on at the moment...!

In any case - here's wishing you health, happiness, prosperity and safety in the new year.

Steve
