Today, The International Centre of Excellence for Local eDemocracy (ICELE) went
Live with Bloginabox, the successor of the hugely successful ReadMyDay blogging
service. It's more user- friendly and looks even better than before.
We have been listening to our users of ReadMyDay, other bloggers and local
authorities and the improvements in Bloginabox will make it so much easier for
councillors and local authority leaders to get blogging and discuss local
issues with people in their area, online.
Fraser Henderson, ICELE Centre Manager commented "It is great to see so many
civic leaders blogging and that popularity and interest in their online
presence is on the rise. We have developed Bloginbox to build-on the success of
Readmyday and feel that we can now offer a complete, unique solution that
builds-in good blogging practice. We are also expanding our new blog directory
on a daily basis and hope to have the most comprehensive list of local
authority blogs in the UK".
The service is based on blogportal technology provided by 21Publish GmbH who
partnered the innovations. Leif Koch, Managing director added "Providing an
easy-to-use yet comprehensive blogging service is pivotal when targeting civil
leaders. By adding domain registration and opening the platform to existing
blogs, local authorities with packed schedules now have an even easier way of
promoting their blogs and reaching out to their citizens. Being a powerhouse
for Web 2.0 services, we are glad ICELE again has confidence in our expertise
and experience for running eDemocracy services."
Bloginabox is easy to use and for people without any technical know how. The
service is packed with lots of help and guidance to assist you in creating that
perfect blog entry including a 'getting-started' guide.
