These are all the things in Siobhan's archives tagged as "blogs". If you want to narrow it down, you can use more than one tag, seperating them with a space.
I dunno about you, but I've noticed a trend within blogging for a while - the seemingly inherent need for a poster to feel that what they write is The Absolute Truth From Which There Can Be No Deviation™
There's been something troubling me of late - something sepcifically referring to my online activities. It's become increasingly apparent to myself that I spend far too much time dipping my toes into The Known™ - rather than the unknown.
He's had a rather brilliant idea - "a paperback anthology of blog writing" for Comic Relief
Dunno about you, but sometimes I read something online and my brain starts to froth with a desire to add something in recognition of how brilliant/inspired/funny/trite the post is - but my ability to retort leaves me.

I do, believe it or not, read Other People's Blogs™. And when I do, I invariably seek to leave the most hilarious, witty, bon mot that I can.

So I'm watching Richard Dawkin's documentary on Channel 4 just there now, and already I've got the discussion on Selina's blog in my head because of the content of the programme. And obviously I've got Joanna's blog in my head because if I hadn't read hers earlier I wouldn't have remembered that the programme was on tonight. But then, just in the closing moments - just before the credits - Richard Dawkins says something that makes me think of Becky's weblog as well...
In today's Guardian, Catherine Bennet writes about the gender imbalance and 'blokishness' slant of the (urgh) "blogosphere". Now, you can agree or disagree with her as much as you want (I happen to agree - even just a cursory glance at the comments that have been made so far seems to resemble a bunch of sabre-rattling, oafish, gout-ridden buffoons, their monocles popping out of their eyes and their port spluttering out of their pursed lips, at the audacity of this woman to burst into their virtual working man's club and question their authority), but the focus of my internal debates about the piece rested more on how the (urgh) "blogosphere" almost always gets reduced in the Press to the political (urgh) "blogosphere".
Even though I'm probably one of the "rabid Apple fangirls/boys" that he laments about time and time again, I do love reading Ian's work. Insightful, reasoned, and above all calmly stated (often in the face of the aforementioned rabidness).
