How many more blogs? - no comments

Via Peter Wheeler's blog I came across the site of Forest of Dean Labour, to discover no fewer than three County Councillor blogs, dating back as far as 2005, and last updated in January.

How many more of these blogs can there be out there, linking to nobody, linked-to by nobody, and (I guess) missing out on the kind of publicity that might encourage their authors to keep them updated? I've added those three, taking Wessex's total up to 9, and the grand total up to 408, but you could help me bring other bloggers from the parallel blogosphere into our own, by:

• Looking up your local Labour Party's web-site
• Letting me know about - or submitting - any blogs you spot there that we don't already have.
• Contacting the blogger to let them know about us.

Euston Manifesto Blog - no comments

A Euston Manifesto blog has been set up - it consists of short posts intermingled with introductions and links to other posts created by Manifesto signers, on a broad range of subjects.

If you've signed the M and would like the ability to post items to the blog yourself, simply email the manifesto contact address at the top of the EM front page.

What did you think about the use of "none of the above", and there being ten votes each?

NB. If you fancy running your own poll - with your own categories, questions, and maximum number of votes - using the voting system you've just used yourself and already grown to love, let me know.
