"An excellent post, I found myself saying ‘hear hear’ all the way through it. I have always prefered the analyst blogs than the practitioner blogs in general, because they shared really great insight about stuff. I referred to them often and think they were very influential in my work. When I was blogging regularly from the insight all I did was talk about what I was doing in the hope that it might be useful to others in some way and giving attribution to the analysts where relevant. Like Nick and Steph my energies have been diverted by other endeavours and by family commitments, but also because I found it less than helpful in my day job. When I was free of that, I found my enthusiasm had waned. I would love to get my mojo back so think a session on this would be an excellent idea. Truth is blogging about government online has been great at creating some reputations, but not so great at creating a community (apart from amongst ourselves). It hasn’t really spread any further than that..."
