Hello to all you Thanet Blog List visitors. For those of you still visiting, first of all I give you my apologies for the complete lack of updates to the site. Secondly I’ll tell you what’s been going on.
I basically retired from the blogging world just under six months ago and with that the TBL was left without anyone steering it. In the past few years I’ve seen the blogging around Thanet multiply and with it the quality of what has been written has improved too, to such a degree that it has been overtaking the local media for it’s reporting of the local area. It is thriving, and with this the area for debate has grown to such an extent that I believe that the blogs have been directly responsible for holding the local council to account.
It’s brilliant. I suppose I also assumed that there was less of a need for a centralised directory as so much positve linking was going on, but it’s nice to the the Blog List mentioned here and there every so often, and perhaps there is a future for it…. but most probably not in this form.
I’ve had a quick perusal over the site and the process currently used for listing blogs isn’t really working that well. In fact I think the submission form isn’t working, and so for the moment I will replace it with just an email address to contact.
The less maintance needed for the site, the easier and more useful the site will become. The two main areas of the site are the front page blog listings and the RSS ‘Latest Feeds’ section. I think there needs to be a mjaor overhaul to get these shipshape. Some people have commented that the ‘Latest Feeds’ page doesn’t always show their recent feeds and I can assure them that it is nothing to do with me or any censorship. The main cause that I can see is that blogger have played around with their feeds structure slightly so that the plugin I’m using wasn’t able to read some blogs. I’m sure this isn’t the complete reason as this was an intermittant problem, but it does go someway to explaining it. I’ve gone through the RSS feeds and hopefully they should all be working fine.
If anyone wants to submit their blog then please email me info@thanetbloglist.co.uk and also watch this space for any developments.
