Notes about blogging
Oh dear, blogging seems to have fallen behind the curve quite radically. It seems everything is happening live on the twitter feeds at a frightening fast rate. I don’t even think I could keep up with it, even with link dumps like this:

As my beat is mostly in Merseyside, I’ll move my coming blog posts to my personal freesteel blog. These will include what’s going down over in Liverpool Wavertree.
We’re looking for correspondents in other areas to watch and report on interesting stuff in local leaflets. Please put them in the twitter feed or email the team. Don’t hesitate. Get the stories out fast. This is the time that matters. Only the votes count.
