I do believe that a blog can function like a column... even though there is more interactivity with a blog, people still do write letters/submit emails to columnists. congratulations!

Yes... see that link now... Wouldn't surprise me if they just didn't code it right with the links as their is one live link on a previous blog post.... Ahh. Yes… see that link now…

Yes, they are paying me... I also noticed none of the links were live - bit silly, that. Will raise it. Not sure what you mean about the home page, though: the "Bloggings" head is there, on the right-hand side, along with links to all the mag's feature pages. You might be right about content for SEO - but I rather think this is all editorial-led, rather than SEO-led. For Ink and for Gulf, the print magazine is everything; what happens on the website is also-ran. hi Jeremy. Yes, they are paying me…

What you write above suggests that they are. Thanks for the link... but none of the links are live which kind of defeats the object. Also I couldn't find a link off the home page to this part of the site... so virtually impossible to find. I guess it's early days... but these are a few things I'd ask them... otherwise 'reversing the flow' or whatever looks rather like just trying to build up a stack of content for SEO purposes (but hey I'm a cynical old hack!) I think there's very little difference at all between a blog post and a column per se... the difference is the functionality. The fact that people can comment and debate what you have written... that's what makes it so much fun! Cheers Jeremy Hi Matthew
