Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Any Budding Bloggers out There?
When this site first started in the sodden days of last year's summer, I included a blog feature. But most of us on the site at the time were relatively new to this sort of site and got confused between forum and blog.
I think I get the difference now - forum for discussing stuff, blog for airing your views, telling your stories, getting on your soapbox, more because you got something you gotta say rather than wanting to engage others in discussion.
A couple of members have suggested that it may be worth bringing the blog back. Any feelings on that from other folks?

Perhaps I can put up a weekly tally of chocolate bars and stiff drinks consumed with a comment on my (lack of ) progress on cutting down like Bridget Jones used to do with the fags and booze in the original Independent columns.

I wondered if it was just to get soapboxers like me off of the forums so they could get some real work done.

Why not start a blog and then you can rant on a topic every week to your heart's content?! :D

Have you not noticed that I only comment on other people's posts and never start any of my own?
To me (and maybe I am a budding journalist in the true London style here) but blog is synonymous with anonymous.

You mean, you think no one will read it!
Maybe you're right, although people can comment and discuss in blogs in the same way as they can in discussion threads and I think Hugh is proposing putting the blog feature on the front page so people can get a taster of what you've written (am I right, H?)... thus an opening line such as ' The milkman saw my knickers today...' will draw them in, even if they are disappointed to discover that this was because the said undergarments were drying on the hall radiator!

I think Matt should blog, he actually works in Harringay. There are plenty of knicker blogs out there, we don't need another one.

You are right Liz. A budding journalist in the true London style, John? Then I think you have to be one of our bloggers - a chance to hone those buds into beautiful flowers.

Indeed, chick blogs are rather boringly common now. My entry was merely an example of a titillating by line that could then move on to muse about the evils of tumble dryers and the wonders of clothes lines, or Paxman style, how the quality of M and S underwear is symptomatic of how the country is going to the dogs.
I think local campaign blogs, key worker in Harringay blogs, guerilla gardening blogs etc would be fascinating
I agree with Hugh, get blogging...
(told you H that no one would want to read about a life in the day of a harringay housewife) -

I'm afraid an understanding of 'Diary of a Harringay Housewife' will require a good working knowledge of the content of the CBeebies channel as well as knowing what it's like to go to Iceland where Mums are heroes apparently.

What, am I the only one prepared to discuss knickers in the Harringay blogosphere? Looks that way!
