Welcome to charlottegore.com, the new (and final) home of my attempts to become Lib Dem Blog of the Year.
Sadly, as of now, I don’t appear on the Wikio rankings, I don’t have any Google Page Rank and no-one links to me. But it’s all good – I’ve crawled my way up before and I’ll crawl my way up again.
So what’s new, apart from actually having a design and a domain name now?
Very little after all that, except now I’m going to be categorising my posts into one of the following sections: Ideology; Policy; Communications; Current Affairs; Off Topic. Each of these sections have their own sub-sections, but don’t worry about that for now – the idea is to make categories useful by narrowing them down a bit, and organising things a bit more logically.
These categories should give you an idea of the areas I intend to cover. Returning to an old favourite in Communications, and branching into a whole new area in Policy.
Finally, the plan is to be better. It’s vague, I know, but I wanted to put it out there regardless. Be Better.
So welcome, update your bookmarks, pick up the new feed, sit back, relax, and prepare to either nod vociferously, bang your head against your keyboard, leap in delight or gouge your own eyeballs out. I’m a damn liberal – what you do’s up to you.
Meanwhile, I’m busy trying to import my old blog here, get a blog roll going and then the miserable business of trying to get the old blog shut down pronto. Wish me luck…

Ooooh very fresh looking
Shame about the Lib Demmery, of course, but I suppose some things can’t be helped 
Can we have a blog-warming party? Can there be cake?
Anyway, congrats on the triumphant return!

Alas, it isn’t really coming along any more. Loads of great ideas, too busy doing too many other things*. All I’ve got so far is a bunch of pretty icons. But they are very pretty icons, at least…
Concerning stray http;’s, the OpenID plugin for WordPress is buggy, rubbish and a general pain in the neck. I had it for a while and then gave up on it. As did LFaT, I think. Just a tip
* Mandatory plug for my new iPhone App.

Hmm thanks for the tip about the OpenID plugin. Can’t say I’ve noticed any issues yet – the problem with Henry’s link was my fault (I think) due to silly cutting and pasting in a haze of extreme tiredness, then forgetting that you have to do things then confirm, then ‘save changes’ for everything: total pain.
No problems with you plugging your iPhone app for now
