Background to project:Increasingly, weblogs are being used in place of conventional websites by elected representatives and local government officials keen to communicate more effectively and efficiently with citizens, staff, media and other tiers of government.The practice of weblogging is bringing a tone to local government that is attractive to visitors, replacing the often dry, formal and static content of traditional government websites. Blogs are similar to having your own website, but tend to beeasier to set up and people can leave comments on blog posts effectively turning a blog into a community conversation. Purpose of project:This project is aimed at civic leaders who want to explore blogs or 'online electronic diaries' for the benefit of their constituents.Project activities:Read My Day advertises itself as an unbiased, multi-party, politically-neutral blogging platform, that allows elected representatives and local government officials to regularly communicate online with their constituents and to receive comments.The website also provides advice and information on blogging, as well encouraging people to blog in their local area. It is possible to search bloggers by area, council or name. Project results:Ongoing blogs on variety of topics and areas.Contact details:http://www.readmyday.co.uk/
