We receive a lot of traffic from blogsHopefully, I've done my little bit.
When I started blogging, I used to link to the Scotsman and its Glasgow rival in equal proportions. Now I don't because the Herald's links die after a day or so. It's so 2005. In fact, I hardly ever link to the Herald at all these days. I did mention this to a prominent Herald journalist recently and perhaps their new editor will get the message. I've had over 140,000 hits on this blog and I have little doubt that quite a few of my readers - especially the many from overseas - will now be regular readers of the Scotsman's web pages. Not so for the Herald.

It's OK if you like reading the paper version of the Scotsman, as I do. The fee for online access includes a voucher for the printed paper and the total cost is less than the daily cover price. This applies only for readers in Scotland I believe.

Sandy: I don't think so but there was a cartoon in the Scotsman a few days ago that would probably have upset quite a few. I can't find a link to it.

The real problem with these papers is the content: the idea of paying for the online version is laughable! But let's face it, neither of them are exactly hospitable towards bloggers... too much of a threat.

And why doesn't The Herald publish a web version on Saturdays?
And while in complaining mode, I rather doubt that the Scotsman's firewalls will encourage foreign readers...

Another terrible thing about The Herald's website is the way it tries to mimick newspaper-style columns. Because the internet was designed to look exactly like a horrible looking newspaper?
