Introduction

Between today and New Year I am publishing a series of short articles on Poliblog Perspective about starting a political blog. If you have been thinking about starting a blog, the New Year is a good time to do it; these articles are designed to help you think through what you want to do, and to get the important things right at the outset.

These articles first appeared as two chapters of “Ian Dale’s Guide to Political Blogging 2007″.

Poliblog Perspective will be covering more aspects of Political Blogging during 2008.

Spotted in the comments on Miss Wagstaff’s blog:

Dimwit and luddite that I am…can you explain tagging? I just came across this on comments

Tagging is a way for you to notice that I’ve linked to your site, so that you can then refer to mine (usually via technorati). If that is you, I’m sure that you know everything there is to know about Welsh poltics and politicians.

It can be a bit wider than that in my opinion - and I’d define “tagging” as “letting another blogger know you are referring to them” (i.e., not necessarily just via a link).
