Blogging On

A big welcome to Christian Aid News readers who've found this blog from the 'Blogging On' article on page 27. This is the very first of the Christian Aid blogs and it relates to a trip to Tajikistan at the beginning of the year by five staff from the London office. Scroll down through the page for daily stories from the two week trip - though please remember that the opinions expressed in any of the blogs and podcasts on this site may not represent official Christian Aid policy.

For readers unfamiliar with weblogs, do check out this article on blogging from the BBC Webwise site. The basic structure of Christian Aid weblogs is a long series of entries in the centre of the page. Links in text work in the same way as any web page and will take you to another article or image. 

You can leave a comment on any of the stories by clicking the 'comments' text under each article. To the right of the page, you'll also see an image gallery link and links to other Christian Aid weblogs and podcasts. Clicking the Tajikistan image gallery link takes you to the photo album for the blog - though bear in mind that we haven't always got time to compress images, so they can take a while to open if you aren't using broadband (ditto the video files - please don't click them unless you are using broadband).

So do have a look around and please let us know what you think! Feel free to comment on any of the stories and let us know what you think about our weblog initiative - we'd love to hear from you.
