Thanks for posting the link to the blog up! Working hard on it, it's really starting to take off now. Might get you to post a guest post on Preston Blog if you're up for it?

There's also quite an extensive list of local bloggers I've managed to collate on Preston Blog.

Wouldn't mind some your stuff on here. Would you have a problem us quoting your articles here with an attributing link to it's source, like we do with LEP stories?

I like http://afreemaninpreston.blogspot.com/ for a laugh, I don't know how he gets away with it. Either his work colleagues are all in on the game or he has made a lot of it up - i.e. the names and places etc...
