Governor Perdue starts blogging

She's our first female governor, and now she's our first blogging female governor. Beverly Perdue has a blog going at http://www.governor.state.nc.us/eTownhall/default.aspx .

There are only two entries in it at the moment, so it's somewhat limited. Further, I don't know how simulated typewriter font on simulated index cards is symbolic of Progression and Change, but maybe it's design thing.

Blog howRDUdoin'? actually takes issue with the idea that Governor Perdue's is "a real blog"; As Scott Jennings notes, there are no comments enabled and no RSS feed to keep people updated on new entries. I can see comments as optional, but I agree about the RSS feed -- I want to know what the Governor is up to! Make it easy by offering RSS feeds, or, if that's considered too technical, e-mail updates.

Speaking of female politicians, I dropped by Kay Hagan's new senatorial digs at http://hagan.senate.gov. Unfortunately there's not much there yet. Well, she just moved; she's probably still unpacking her desk. Richard Burr's Web site is going full blast, and he does have a blog to which he and his press office both post.

Are there any NC politicians whose blogs you enjoy?

Thanks for the link! I agree that comments can be optional for a lot of blogs -- if you're a teenager writing bad poetry, or if you're writing personal stuff for your own benefit, by all means, comments are optional. But when you ask me to spend time reading about all these two-way conversations you're looking forward to, and then there are no comments? That's really silly.

I thought Senator Burr's blogpost was very professionally done. I agree, I looked at the other 2 websites and was not real impressed.
