Financial Mail blogging at Polokwane

I have just helped Financial Mail put together their Polokwane Blog for the upcoming ANC Conference.We have been extremely diligent with the blog and have already posted photos of what is happening at the University of Limpopo.From the FM @ Polokwane blog:

The FM will be covering the ANC’s National Conference in Polokwane real time on the Internet.A highly experienced team of four FM journalists will be on the ground in Polokwane keeping track of the most important political event since the ANC came to power in 1994. They will be posting regular news, views and conference snippets to the FM@Polokwane blog during the conference, supported by colleagues in the FM Johannesburg and Cape Town newsrooms.It is the closest you can get to being at the conference yourself.

So make sure to add the RSS feed for the blog to your feedreader and keep up to date with the happening at the conference.

Financial Mail gets blogging

So FM (the magazine I work for) have "officially" launched the very first blog that will be attached to the FM Blogging platform. Rob Rose is the author of the FM Governance blog. It is nothing fancy, design is secondary to content and Rob can definitely hold his own on this front.In his own words:

FM Governance is written by Rob Rose and provides irreverent commentary and the odd spark of clarity on who's breaking the rules, who's paying lip-service, and why you should care.

Obviously this isn't officially the very first blog that FM Has ever produced. Duncan McLeod produces FM Tech and has done so for a while. So in theory we are adding on to Duncan's great work in creating an FM brand in the blogging world.Here is a screenshot:Rob's been quite creative and intuitive as a first time blogger and thought up so interesting ideas. One of those ideas is the loser of the week. Rob pretty much tells the world that one company or person is the loser of the week and then blogs about the reasoning for this.Read about this week's loser here and now.
