So, we have done a little re-jiggering here at the World's Least Consistent Website. The British Politics blog link is history. It didn't update very much, and seemed to get less interesting as time went on (wait a minute, am I describing...nah).
In it's place we have put our colleague and mentor, (and perhaps 50% of our viewing public) The Big Sandwich. There has been a recent rebirth of his blog, and we hope that the pressure of not only being a link on a page he reads consistently (again, we thank you) but the main topic of a whole post will keep him blogging. Hang in there - we have faith that you will make it through the Four Stages of Bloggage - Exuberance, in which you blog, say, eight times a day because you are just brimming with pearls of wisdom which require immediate worldwide distribution; Trepidation, at the thought of actually building up an audience, which will create an obligation not to disappoint them; Fatigue, which sets in after plugging away for what seems like an eternity but is probably just a few months. This is, of course, the danger zone for most bloggers, but if you power through it, you can reach Comfort, that blessed state in which, frankly, you stop giving a shit and just post when you find something potentially interesting, or when you are pissed off about something and feel like having a nice catharsis in front of, potentially, billions of people. Anyway, good luck.
