I'm a measured person. Thanks, anyway. Oh, and Chris - my blog is, and always will be, an add-on to my work for the paper/website. Breaking stories, holding people to account, etc. etc., to professional standards of fairness and accuracy and with no agenda. Some of us think that's still quite important... Andy,

ManchesterOnline.co.uk is no more than a shop window for the MEN/CityLife redesigns these days - though both newish sites are decent and improving. Thanks for the link... and good luck with this blogging malarkey! Fresh, relevant, interesting content is key. Must be my vaguely regional accent!

City Life: Yes, we were young. And wild. And continually over-worked and under-paid. But we were useful too. It's surely not healthy having so much local and regional media clout in the hands of the few? Even the "community" TV station run by a major corporate? And quite a paradox that our title should have been sold to GMG given the alt. vision. Though I must say that I feel Confidential is nearer to the City Life space than Dave at MEN-blog. Keep coming across re-treads of the title. Worldwide and closer to home too. Belfast City Airport's new air-side glossy is called City Life! Blogging: I'm still doing "wild" in my political blogging ... though I think I may be dividing this so that cultural trivia, reviews, previews and general observations can be found in a different place to the cut and thrust of the irreverent poli-blog. My first "kinda blog" was in 1998 where I did one, consisting only of links and short tag lines, with 36 posts in 36 hours as part of a project with Tosh Ryan at al - 36 Hours in a Mystery Chair (36MC) - the title a hat tip to John Cooper Clarke's celebration of incarceration in Strangeways. From then to 2005 I found myself using press letters and literally 100s of electronic communities as my outlet but blogged the 2005 general election as part of John Harris's SNWDWVF (So Now Who Do We Vote For?), found myself making more and more comments on other people's blogs, and finally got to be a serious regular blogger about two years ago. No doubt we're not far away from Bloggers' Anonymous ... Welcome! Chris Paul PS I would take some time and stick some links in. Perhaps when you're snagging the site you could add a line or two below saying what html is allowed? Welcome to the “Blogosphere” – yeuch, what a term that is.
