CPC Campaign "Blog" (en francais)

I've held off commenting on the so-called blog, waiting to see if any changes might be made. Looks like the answer is no.

Just to be clear, I think the CPC Campaign Blog sucks. I don't know why they even call it a blog.

1. No permalinks
2. No trackbacks
3. No comments
4. Anonymous poster - come on - it's an election campaign. If it's a paid staffer blogging, then identify the person. If it's a volunteer, at least give us a screen name and an email for feedback and comment.

There is no way to link to individual posts, other than providing a link to that week's posts. It's as bad as Kinsella's musings page, masquerading as a blog.

At least it does have an RSS feed - something the CPC is way ahead of the other parties.

The whole goal of the internet is interactivity, something severely lacking from the CPC site.

The way the blog is setup right now, it's nothing more than a static PR page. I know blogs worry Campaign Managers and back-room strategists, but surely they can come up with a way to at least vet posts if they're that concerned about some sort of gaffe.

Comments can be moderated to prevent the usual trolls.

This campaign has the advantage of two phases. Hopefully we'll see the 'blog' re-launched after Christmas into something that actually resembles a blog.

This is something that Blogging Tories can actually work to change. Send a comment to the Webmaster and let him know your opinion.
