Some Blogging News

A few further notices (I'll try and post this all on the one blog rather than clog up the system, and I'll put all this information in the newsletter as well).
First - the new set up will allow you to have some biog about yourself or your blog, a few permanent links to your favourite sites (non commercial etc - usual guidelines apply), a new set up where you can create your own galleries and a choice of six new blog designs. You can also add a permanent picture of your self (or whatever) to illustrate what your all about.
The first phase of the development launches next month and will roll-ot to include: Coll, Tiree, Mull, Iona, Colonsay, Lismore, Kerrera, Seil, Easdale, Luing, Islay, Jura, Gigha, Arran, Sanda, Bute, Great Cumbrae
Holy Island, Lunga
Then it will be the Western Isles later in the summer, and Orkney and Shetland in October. We've decided to keep three different areas so we don't go suddenly to one huge anonynous group. Any questions /comments let me know. Post a comment here or email me at islandblogging@bbc.co.uk

Does anyone live on Lunga? There were just Puffins and Guillimots last time I was there.

Different Lunga Gary, this one is further south. The one near Staffa is a bird sanctuary, your right.
We're deliberately including even the smaller islands so they have the chance to opt in, if there's no take-up we can always let them go.
