Work is manic as per and as a resutl I haven’t logged into my personal bloglines account in days.
However, I have just come across the news that Foreign Secretary, David Miliband is back blogging – which is great news.
Even better news is the fact that the site is caleld ‘FCO Bloggers’ which to me indicates that there is more than one FCO blog. So I has me a little look around…. and lo and behold there’s a link to ‘All FCO blogs‘.
Nice one, Dave! The page declares:
"This blog space provides a place for Ministers and officials to engage
in a dialogue with you about international affairs and the work of the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office. We want these personal blogs to be a
genuine sharing of ideas, so we will try to read the comments you post
here and respond to the debate."
So it’s all starting to look like a really good effort to help open up the FCO to a wider world.
In case you can’t read the profiles, the FCO bloggers are:
- David Miliband, Foreign Secretary
- Lindsay Appleby, First Secretary, Brussels
- Sarah Russell, new entrant
- Jim Murphy, Minister for Europe
- Maria Pia Gazzella, Trade Officer, Santiago
- Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, Ambassador to Afghanistan
Hopefully we’ll get some really good material from across the FCO’s global remit. There’s also an FCO YouTube channel and Flickr stream
