The scaffold rises, the curtain falls...
Though many Newt-bloggers wait eagerly in the wings, they will not be admitted into the site until we have made it more presentable. We are the construction team. You will all have admin privileges during this period. Short of altering any of the text at this stage, you have licence to run amok and make any formal changes to the layout. Ideally I would like text to run down both sides of the Post-board (NoBo?). For my part, I can only generously be described as total cretin where the 'Interweb' is concerned, so I am relying heavily on you more adept members (Hamilton is obviously equally useless...).
Can we have the text on the other side of the post-board to the Newt logo?
Blair's grip on the electorate grows ever weaker as his control over the cabinet tightens. Across the pond the Neo-Con revolution is in its death throes. The barbarians are at the gates, and a painter has won the Turner prize. The Governments of the West pursue wars with obscure motives and ill-conceived objectives, while their subjects watch reality television and fret over childhood obesity. Vultures circle over Croydon. Awake Newt! England has need of you now!

To Post-Newt, I
Welcome, my friends, to the show that never ends. The celebrated Horned Post-Newt is now something more than the vapid emissions of two cranks stooped over a pint of Tetley's.
The blog is, for the time-being, open only to authors. I want to give it some substance before we send it out into the pitiless world.
It's also a building-site. Construction will take place over the course of the next few days/week. Bear with me.
