have just e-mailed Kevin Curley Chief Executive of NAVCA (our national body) to get the message out to other CVS Directors about the blog and how it might be a strand of a more general information strategy for a CVS. If Kevin checks out the site he will also feel right at home to see himself mentioned and to know that seconds after sending an e-mail he can also feature in the blogging world.
And yes I am sad enough to remember the obscure 1981 New York disco hit which gives us our lyric reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fefrF9ngwOo

Picked up on your blog already and am following its RSS in Bloglines. Yes you are a rare breed - but you are blazing the right trail!
I'm collecting any other CVS blogs on http://watfordgap.wordpress.com.

It's fun. Thanks Steve. But do we risk being seen as frivolous and without the gravitas at least some of our local members expect of us? Maybe I've been away from the grassroots too long (5 years now).

Thanks for visiting Kevin. Feedback accross the board has been overwhelmingly positive and in terms of frivolity we have been fairly restrained so far. We can be much more frivoulous than this!!
But blogs are best when they are a bit frivolous. Like here for instance
http://www.afl.org.uk/susieblog/
Where you get information about open source software, Andrea Dworkin and the Victorian novel in the same place?
Or here,
http://blog.lgiu.host.cimex.com/
Where David takes a wry look at local government
Or here , where you can learn how Lewisham connects through web 0.2

The bigger concern about what we do on the web is that organisations fall for the corporate culture of mistaking good with faceless and remote (style sheet perfect pantones/fonts but very, very dull). I think quite a few organisations get it wrong through trying to make their web presence into a corporate billboard rather than an interactive opportunity.
Blogging is a great tool for getting people inside and outside organisations to connect with one another - just like whats happening here.
