The EU commissioner's blog

Comments[1] by Dave in Roller
CorporateBloggingBlog.info: The blog of European Commissioner Margot Wallström is now a fully enabled blog. We find a feed, (moderated) comments and trackback. There's a calendar, categories and a blog search. Exactly as she promised when it started.

It's nice to see that when the first commissioner decides to try blogging out, she goes the whole way. That in itself, I believe, is a statement of seriousness and authenticity.I also note that the blog has moved. When it started it was found at http://europa.eu.int/comm/commission_barroso/wallstrom/weblog/index.htm. Now we find it at http://weblog.jrc.cec.eu.int/page/wallstrom. Could be an insignificant technical detail. Could also be a sign telling us that the Commission has prepared its infrastructure for more blogs.

Or... it could be a sign that they are blogging with Roller. Congrats to the commissioner and the tech folks behind the blog infrastructure who have submitted a slew of useful bug reports and patches to the Roller project. They really put together a nice theme, don't you think?
