WEDNESDAY, our elected representatives will vote on whether the Iraq inquiry should be made public instead of private. Gordon Brown has been receiving intense pressure to do a u-turn on the issue, something that our dithering PM has been good at in his time as Chancellor and PM. The guys and girls from the political campaigns website 38degrees, will be vigorously campaigning in the next few days to try to persuade wavering MPs to do the right thing and make the Iraq inquiry fully public.

HERE'S a great opportunity for all those footy fans out there, who just happen to be budding journalists and writers as well. The guys at Footymatters are on the lookout for contributors for their site to write on all things about football. How important is the beautiful game to you? They say on the ad on
Gorkana that people can write about anything as long as it's footie related. News, features, interviews, and results info. Shame the seasons over.

This is Part Three in the series of posts I have been offered to write all this week for the newly created blog for
journalists Fleetstreetblues.
Building up traffic and subscribers
When you have first set up your blog, have a topic for the content, managed to get a neat template, (paid or unpaid) and have a short but catchy domain name, it stands to reason you will only have one loyal reader, YOU.

You can just imagine Michael Winner's response to this piece of news, can't you? According to British insurance company Esure, of 1000 people polled, one in ten said they had been 'twittering' whilst driving - causing accidents. That's not as bad as what I encountered from Taxi drivers in Romania, when some had a fag in one hand, and a mobile in the other, especially swerving to avoid potholes.

WEDNESDAY sees the guys at 38 degrees deliver their recall law call to party leaders where people would be able to sack an MP who frankly takes the mickey at the expense of the British hardworking taxpayer.
They have campaigned tirelessly for this recall call, where they will be delivering the petition to Nick Clegg, David Cameron and Gordon Brown this week.
"Can you think of another job where once you've been hired, the people who've hired you can't touch you for up to five years, no matter what you've done?, they write." That's a simple answer.
