Blog of the Week: 1

This is the first blog featured in the Blog of the Week series.

The choice of blog covered is done randomly and I am hoping to cover most of if not all of the blog on my blog roll over the coming weeks and months.

First up is Ceredig. This is a new blog running since the start of June and so is still in its infancy with only 10 posts. (At the point of writing).

I have been very impressed with the way the blog has started compiling some detailed comments on the issues of coalitions. It is certainly a welcome addition to the Welsh blog scene and I am looking forward to further blogging. (Even if Ceredig has yet to add me to his blog roll!!!)
