The Wardman Wire

Conservative Conference Coverage

Garbo on the Floor

Garbo, who writes here weekly, will be posting updates in between his real job.

Video

We will be posting a number of videos, as they become available.

Conference Diary

During the Conservative Conference we will be running a Conference Diary from the “Reform” think tank. It will probably be each day, but I’ve just said “post when you like as long as it is interesting”.

Where to find our coverage

Four places:

• On the blog.
• In the “Party Conference 2008″ Tab on the Magazine View.
• In the RSS Feed for all Party Conference Articles.
• In the “Party Conferences” category.

Experimental Advert

Also, I’m experimenting with a Messagespace “Leaderboard” advert at the top of the page for the next week or so to see how it fits with the blog.

I have requested that they don’t use the “Popout” version on the Wardman Wire, as I consider that to be too intrusive.

In my opinion one of the competitive advantages of blogs versus Media sites is that a simpler presention is possible, without us needing to pursue monetisation desperately via annoying adverts - popups, popunders, expanders, auto-play videos and the rest. I hope that I can hold that line as I experiment with different types of advert here.
