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…
