Blogging for Britain

An interesting article dropped into my newsreader this morning. The National Trust are organising what they hope to be “Britain’s biggest blog” by encouraging people to blog about a normal day living in Britain. The blog entries will then be archived and stored in the British Library amongst other places.

As a relatively new blogger (this blog is my fourth attempt at getting a blog going and has been up and running since May this year), I’ve tried to avoid blogging about the mundane day-to-day aspects of life but I have to admit that this sounds like an intriguing idea that I’d really like to have a go at.

If you live in the UK and you’d like to take part yourself, entries can be uploaded between 17 – 31 October on the History Matters website. It doesn’t have to be more than 650 words long. I’ll be picking a day in the coming fortnight to give it a go (hopefully an interesting day!) and I’ll post my entry up on here too.

Go on, blog for Britain!
