The Deva Station: Pressing matters - when papers get blogging
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2008/02/pressing-matters-when-papers-get.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Sunday, 17 February 2008. Pressing matters - when papers get blogging. Two of our local newspapers, the Chester Chronicle and the Chester Evening Leader, are now offering blogging facilities on their websites to readers. Of the five on the Chronicle's site, one looked potentially interesting as it seemed to be about the Literature Festival. And is quite entertaining, and the fifth is the personal blog of Chronicle columnist John Buckley. Posted by Louise B.

http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-attention-has-been-drawn-to-local.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Wednesday, 26 March 2008. My attention has been drawn to local publisher, Northern Eye Books. Isn't it weird how you can live somewhere for ages and not know that on your doorstep is a publisher producing books of local interest. It's largely because of the death of independent booksellers, who were reliable stockists for local books. Northern Eye has an interesting catalogue covering Chester, Cheshire and north Wales. Northern Eye also has a blog. I am a ...

The Deva Station: Digging up a gem
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2008/01/digging-up-gem.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Thursday, 17 January 2008. Digging up a gem. I really like the Chester Amphitheatre. Blog It's not updated terribly frequently - most updates occur in the summer when the excavation work is ongoing. The amphitheatre was half-excavated several decades ago, but a recent grant means that over the last few summers the archaeology team has been in town to do more digging. The blog reports on their progress as well on other Roman-related news. Posted by Louise B.

The Deva Station: Regents and princes
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2008/02/chester-being-such-ancient-city-its.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Sunday, 10 February 2008. Chester being such an ancient city, it's steeped in rich pickings for those interested in local history. Modern-day Deva has quite a few local writers publishing books on various aspects of Chester's past. But so far, I've only found one blog. Sue Wilkes. Sue's blog is still in its infancy but her posts on literature in between updates on her career as a published author are well worth a look. Posted by Louise B. In Search of Adam.

The Deva Station: Sifting through duds and dross
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2007/11/sifting-through-duds-and-dross.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Saturday, 3 November 2007. Sifting through duds and dross. I've been spending spare moments hunting for Chester blogs. A "Chester" search on Blogger.com indicated that there are around 200 registered bloggers in our fair city. That sounded very promising and so began the task of checking out each and every one. At the moment it feels like searching for the proverbial needle. But there are some gems out there and they are gradually being added. You'll have ...

The Deva Station: Democracy on the web?
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2007/10/democracy-on-web.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Saturday, 20 October 2007. Democracy on the web? I thought it would be interesting to have a look at the blogs of Chester city councillors. There is an increasing trend towards openness on the internet by our institutions. For example, a number of police chiefs are blogging these days, as are some MPs. Is pretty impressive - he represents Blacon, an area of Chester that has a difficult reputation, and it's good to see that he is proactive, using his blog t...

The Deva Station: November 2007
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Monday, 19 November 2007. I admit to being fascinated by Red Kite's blog, Adventures in Records Management. It's a very interesting glimpse into the working life of a civil servant responsible for data management. For those working in the same field or affected by such issues, there's some pretty solid info in there, but Red Kite also has a wry sense of humour and a deft touch with words, as evidenced by his l atest post. Posted by Louise B. I've been spen...

The Deva Station: Mustn't grumble!
http://madeincheshire.blogspot.com/2008/01/mustnt-grumble.html
Made in Cheshire - a roll call of Chester blogs. Wednesday, 30 January 2008. Ever wondered what it might be like to have a living, breathing Victor Meldrew type living on your doorstep? I have one as a near neighbour, as I'm sure many of you do. But not many local Meldrews are blogging. So, a big hello to Simon Brattlel of the Grumbles. Modern life being as it is, I can identify with quite a few of Simon's rants, as I'm sure many others do. Posted by Louise B. 27 March 2008 at 16:06. Diary of a Wordsmith.
