Starting a blog is pretty easy. Keeping it going on a long term basis is harder. We had a ‘blip’ last year but as you can see we are back now.
If you look at the ten Essex political blogs in our sidebar, one was updated today (well done Julian Ware-Lane) , another one was updated this week (keep it the good work James Newport) and two others were upated last week. The other six haven’t been updated for months… it really can be difficult to keep blogging.
So it’s good to see another local blog – which so far seems to be about local history. It’s called JPS Rose, written by Jason Rose and you can find his first article of 2017 here, about Hadleigh Castle.
There are some blogs that only see some activity when their author approaches an election.
I think we have a pretty healthy blogosphere here in south east Essex, but I do wish some were a bit more active.
