Here we are again, happy as can be

Welcome to RunningCommentary - The Sequel.

Time to get back on track with a new approach.

RC nearly died recently, but the patient's been resuscitated, in a form intended to solve a few problems. I won't go into the tedious detail, but essentially I wanted to:

• retain the camaraderie of the established RC gang
• reduce the guilt I felt about not constantly writing new stuff
• make the site more democratic, by giving equal exposure to some excellent writers. On the previous site, they were sidelined in the forum
• reduce my struggle with the technology. I may be reasonably technical compared with the Bloke in the street, but I just didn't have quite the right ratio of time and inclination to do the things I wanted to do.

So I'm using professional blogging software from Typepad to improve things. If my understanding is correct, the usual suspects -- plus, I hope some unusual ones -- can join up as Guest Authors, and receive the global idolatry that their talents so richly merit. (Please mail me to be added to the list.)

For anyone reading RunningCommentary for the first time, it purports to be a website about fat people running along the street.

Or is it?

It will be what we choose it to become.

Welcome -- old friends and new.
