This blog has been started for three reasons.
1. It's about time we kept the Gallomanor site more up-to-date. We're doing more and more and telling fewer and fewer people about it. A blog will be a fairly effortless way of keeping that content flowing.
2. There are numerous conversations about the community engagement and e-democracy area that I've started one to one with people. I hope I'm not being to presumptuous sharing them with everyone.
3. I need to put my money where my mouth is. Having encouraged politicians of various levels to start blogging I guess I should be blogging myself, even if this is just a corporate blog.
If I manage a weekly entry I'll be happy. There'll be a mixture of posts about engagement, democracy, the work Gallomanor does, the work other people do in the area, and some general posts that I can't foresee today. Please feel free to comment but as it is a blog for Gallomanor not myself then I may be a little strict with what stays up so please be constructive with any criticism.
Thank you and enjoy.
Welcome to the 'sphere (or whatever we're supposed to call it), and ta for the link.
