931 down
It was an inspired conversation.
What shall we call a blog written by someone called Betsan? How about ... Betsan's blog?
931 entries later, Betsan's blog is on the move.
From today, if the technology works, you'll be able to visit my new correspondent's page. As with other BBC blogs, it will have a fresh format and a more up-do-date photograph - one with more hair but with more frown lines too.
The reasons for the change can be found here. If all goes according to plan overnight, then you should be able to find the new page here.
See you there.

Seems the new blog will limit posts to 400 Characters.
That will reduce the ability of posters to properly develop critical analysis or alternative views.
Is the intent to prevent opinions other than those of the BBC being properly presented and developed.
400 characters isn't a lot, this post contains 399 Characters,

So the English like to tell us.
I will never survive on here now.
