Hello – a suggestion…

When you click into a particular post, that page doesn’t say who the post was from. It’d be good if it did – I sometimes email to people a link to the particular post, and it’d good for them to know who has written it…

Cheers,

@jarbury – Good idea. It’s on our list of things we’re likely to add. You should notice a few changes over the next few weeks and we’re always open to feature suggestions. Cheers!

Sorry, one more thing:

I think it would be good for the blog to include a “recent comments” widget in the sidebar so that we can see the comments that have been recently posted, and whether someone’s replied to something we said.

Ideas for blog topics…. well there are a few controversial things going on at the moment:

1) Waterview Connection options

2) Auckland’s Super-City proposal

3) RMA Amendments

And that’s just in the transport/planning area which I have a particular interest in.

It would also be good to have some pre-budget discussion – ie. what would Labour be doing differently? National’s economic stimulus seems to have rather fizzled so far at $500 million + the Victoria Park Tunnel.

Hopefully this little experiment goes well. Having the elected representatives actually communicating with the broader community in an open setting is certainly a step in the right direction for democracy.
