Councillor blogging

I’ve been working on developing councillor guidance on using social media.

This means I’ve been following lots of councillors on Twitter and looking at lots of councillor blogs.

The best councillor blogs are REALLY dull – unless you happen to live in their area. The blogs should be personal news reflections on their wards. Which means that I couldn’t be stuffed to read what they write. Usually. Unless I happen to live there – see http://jamescousins.com which I find really useful as a resident.

This morning I found Councillor Sara Bedford’s blog http://sarabedford.org.uk/ and it’s really good. It’s not really a “good” councillor blog though – at least not judging from the most recent posts.

But it is a good blog. I like it. I’ve been lazy in updating my blog links since I moved sites. I’ve got old, long-standing blogging friends that I haven’t linked yet. But here I go, I’m going to add her first.

And…this weekend I’m going to update my blogroll.
