Bloggers4Labour will be a year old at about 11.30 pm this evening!

Here's what I had to say after six months - there's a bit of story there about how B4L got started.

I haven't got the time to post reflections on the year that has passed - not right now, anyway, but perhaps if I squeeze everything into Thursday evening something will emerge. If not, at least there's the do on Friday, where Labour-backing bloggers can mull over these issues.

There may also be a few changes for next year but, again, that's up for discussion. We've tried guest posters, Summer Essays, and a community-written Manifesto, and if anyone has any interesting ideas of their own, let me know.

So, have we gone down a storm? Well, I don't know about that. The hitcounter is saying 49,858 and it'll be touch and go whether we reach the big 50,000 by the end of the night. It's not a huge total, but then again many people use B4L simply to find out what other people are saying, rather than what this blog is saying.

There are two other factors: (a) I don't find it easy to post as often as I like - especially during the day - and (b) I do feel that if I don't have a good grasp of a particular issue, I'm better off keeping quiet than taking valuable eye-time from bloggers who are on the ball, or copying straight out of The Guardian or the Wikipedia.

Anyway, that's it for now - more later.
