Blogging is not new – it is pamphleteering and essaying with modern technology. Early Modern Whale, for example examines a 16th Century pamphlet about a landslip in Kent, and talks about the writer using this phenomenon to explain his religious beliefs.

Check out the good link to Jack of Kent on what makes a good blogger. He identifies three qualities:

  • independence
  • sourcing and linking
  • originality

Sounds about right.

Plus there’s a link to The Daily (Maybe) musing on the rather stale subject of an ethical foreign policy. 

Have a rummage around the other stuff too.
