Once again my review of the blog and local blogging scene
for last month.
Turning off anonymous comments has made the blog much easier
to manage, this doesn’t affect anyone’s anonymity inasmuch as it is very easy
to produce an anonymous blogger, google or other acceptable id, but it has cut
back on the effort of managing this blog.
I guess the John Hamilton saga, which I would expect will
eventually become a local news story, shows just how badly you have to behave
on the blogs before there is any serious attempt to discover the identity of
someone who wants to conceal theirs.
The main issue for me this month will probably be the
Pleasurama development as the development agreement expires, the key element here
being that the very bad plans that were submitted by the developer who proved
to be unable to develop have been approved by planning and as far as I can see
that approval stands in perpetuity.
As the blog comment here is starting to improve in terms of
the proportion of relevant comment to spam and low level bickering I will start
doing some more news and controversial posts here again.
I have tried to put the traffic sources data table below,
whether it will publish ok remains to be seen, but it should give some idea of
the relative popularity of the local blogs and other websites that link to this
blog.
