Hi Will,
I hope the trip to BBC Bristol went OK and was interesting. I look forward to your blog about it.
Well done for getting the newsdesk together. Aren't you short by 3 items? You could have added your own one too.
Presenting it as a bulleted list is OK but rather boring. It would have been more readable if you had found a way of linking the items together into a more engaging posting.
See you next week. Mike J
