A few weeks back Matt Wardman set up an Scottish political blogs aggregator, Scottish Political News. When I mentioned it at Scottish Roundup, I half-jokingly pointed out that my blog wasn’t included.
Matt Wardman’s justification was solid though.
At the time the previous 10 postings had 5 about Lewis Hamilton, 3 about Big Brother and 1 about Music. Much as I love the Dr vee blog, politics that ain’t!
Which is quite a good point. Nevertheless, he has decided to now include my blog.
He is too interesting to leave out.
That is the nicest thing anyone has said about me for months. So thanks Matt. And apologies to all visitors to Scottish Political News who will have to endure my tomorrow’s post on the McLaren / Ferrari spy row (my first post on the issue, amazingly enough). And from then on my endless wittering about music, and, I dunno, bodily fluids or whatever else it is I blog about.
Incidentally, if you want the stuff about current affairs only, bookmark this page. Or for politics only, use this page.

It was the BBC roundup that convinced me.

You can get a feature for wordpress that allows you to subscribe to catagories only.

But regardless, both your categories release their own feed, so an aggregator can just take them anyway; I do it for a few other sites.
I dunno, Wordpress-Fu fails
(also, text fields for my personal info, white text on pale yellow makes for an interesting “did I spell that right” experience)

??? It should be dark grey on pale yellow. Which browser are you using?
I did suggest over at the Scottish Roundup thread that it was possible to use the politics feed alone, but Matt didn’t respond to that. All of the category feeds for this blog are listed on the archives and stats page.
