The Wardman Wire

If you look at our list of Columns, you’ll see that there’s now something in place or planned for every day except Thursday.

That gap is about to be filled by the Thunderdragon, who is going to contribute a new column about Democracy, under the heading:

We The People

This is the topic area:

“Democracy, primarily focusing on Britain but also occasionally looking at the whole world. Democratic issues that have arisen in the news, but also on general issues with democracy.”

The column will be starting in January.

The idea is that this will be a small contribution to the recent calls for “thoughtful” blogging, which I agree with.

I wonder if one of the keys is not “thoughtful” blogging, but “slower” blogging, which is why I am interested in a bi-weekly format.

I’m not going to try and describe what the Dragon will be writing about exactly, because it’s his column, and I try to be relatively hands-off as a site editor.

Comments welcome

One reason for posting now, is that we are thinking about what to with the column in the intermediate weeks.

There are several different things that we could do (and we’ve put out a few feelers):

• Guest pieces.
• Find a complementary and contrasting writer.
• We could even have a guest for each “term”.

We’d all like to hear about any suggestions for the intermediate weeks in the comments.
