As our small group of reg­u­lars will prob­a­bly have realised, we’re cur­rent­ly on hol­i­day. Natal­ie is in Austin liv­ing the high life at the SXSW Fes­ti­val, and I’m a bit busy with oth­er stuff, so will let this lie until I can get back into gear, and give it the amount of time it deserves (prob­a­bly April).

We’d ini­tial­ly set-up the page as proof-of-con­cept demo, just to show to a cou­ple of oth­er peo­ple to see if they might be inter­est­ed in help­ing out. There’s prob­a­bly still a fair bit of work required to get it to a state that’s as func­tion­al as the ‘ist’ sites we’ve mod­elled it on (gothamist, lon­don­ist, etc.), includ­ing a shift to a prop­er host­ed domain, and prob­a­bly switch­ing over to mov­able type so we can get all the ‘cat­e­gories’ func­tion­al­i­ty that blogger/blogspot is cur­rent­ly lack­ing. We shall see though, all that costs mon­ey, and the finances are pret­ty much non-exis­tent at the moment. In fact, if any­one who wants to buy shares in the Welling­ton­ist, feel free to get in touch!

Like­wise, any sug­ges­tions for con­tent, fea­tures, welly blogs we’ve over­looked in our blogroll, or any­thing are always wel­come. Just leave a com­ment, or email.

See you soon…
