Scott Walker Weblog

Scott Walker has a weblog, and he's writing some posts.

No permalinks or trackbacks. I don't know what software the campaign is using. It's not anything familiar to me. If the weblog does get popular (a la Howard Dean's) then scaling could be an issue.

More importantly, a good weblog needs to have a personality. It's really early in the campaign so I'm not sure how much time Walker will have to keep at it when he's busy campaigning. Ideally, they should have a main person writing posts. That way they don't sound like press releases, and readers can connect to the writer.

What I'd advice the Walker campaign to do is have three or four people post regularly for a week or two then decide who to make the #1 weblogger.
