Blogging is expanding! We've got blogs from staff as well as readers, including birdwatcher Alan Davies, who'll be jetsetting in an effort to spot as many birds as he can, as well as Damian Plant, who is keeping his eye on facilities for the disabled in North Wales.
This week we launch two new blogs by two reporters. These Resolution blogs aim to make public their efforts to keep fit and pinch the pennies in 2008.
Our Conwy Valley reporter Samantha Castle has launched her Penny Pincher blog which charts her efforts to save money this year, to change her ways when it comes to shopping and throwing away those pounds and pence!
And Penmaenmawr reporter Mari Jones has started her The Gym and Mrs Jones blog, charting her efforts to get fit and healthy in 2008. Both blogs have more than a whiff of Bridget Jones about them, but what's the harm in that? They will be fun as well as informative too - for instance, later this week Mari will be uploading an exclusive interview with fitness guru Rosemary Conley, complete with tips on how to get trim (and don't miss our in-paper competition to win Rosemary's latest workout DVD this week!).
And Sam is hoping to get an interview with someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to scrimping and saving - Alvin Hall!
Visit the Penny Pincher blog and The Gym and Mrs Jones by clicking on the Weekly News link under Useful Links (top right) and then visiting Blogs from the navigation menu.
