Comments on: Scottish Sec Murphy to keep 'blogging' http://puffbox.com/2008/10/07/scottish-sec-murphy-to-keep-blogging/ Adventures in government, politics and open source. Mostly WordPress-related. Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:55:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andrew http://puffbox.com/2008/10/07/scottish-sec-murphy-to-keep-blogging/comment-page-1/#comment-626 Andrew Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:17:32 +0000 http://puffbox.com/?p=431#comment-626 I'm pleased it's progressed since this morning when it looked like it was going to be 'blogging by press release' and is starting to look a little more like it - actual page, link from the home page. I'd be happier if there was a hint about future developments (comments, RSS) - if there was, I'd have no problem with it being up in this plain format for a week or however long. But that's fascinating background to Jim Murphy's blogging history, thanks Simon. It makes me think that Miliband's original blog, and how it's been embraced and developed at FCO, is one of the biggest genuine social media/2.0 beach heads we've seen in government to date.

Fine if it is in development, but why not just wait a week and do it properly? I just can't see any new friends being won by doing this so early when the Scotland Office web setup clearly isn't ready.
