Why start this blog now?

I’ve finally decided that I should join the millions publishing their own blog online.

I guess the main reason is that whilst researching and editing the news articles for SurvivingFlu.com I frequently feel that there is much more to say, however I don’t think it’s appropriate to mix my opinions with the news items on the site.

I had thought about an “editorial” section, which might have fitted the bill, but instead I decided to seperate my thoughts and opinions from the more objective nature of that site.

There are also subjects other than bird flu that I would like to write about, so starting a blog here gives me a broader canvas on which to paint my distorted view of the world - sorry!

Please share your views here - all comments are welcome and I need to be kept on the straight and narrow!
