I do know that there is a good reason why this is, but you're going to have to take my word for it that that's the case. I would like all the blogs to have permalinks and comments, but I'll settle for 50% for the moment. However, if a lack of permalinks is your only criteria for criticism of The Guardian's blogging policy, then I'm surprised. Personally, I think they 'get' blogs a lot more than any other UK publication at the moment. Not all their features are spot on, it's true, but they're making a good go at getting their head round the medium.

If they did, the Guardian Weblog would have permalinks. It's almost as if there's a breakdown in internal communication there - why have some actual blogs, set up properly, and one that just uses a rudimentary blog format without actually being a blog?
