That way they can learn what proper blogs look like and appreciate that they exist.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-65786327906790888962007-05-16T07:04:00.000+01:002007-05-16T07:04:00.000+01:00Maybe The Guardian should have a revolving design ...Maybe The Guardian should have a revolving design policy, so every day it looks like a different blog.
