Mark Baddeley makes some good points about the atheistic bus campaign. A very long post though Badders - 2000 words! I must admit that I skimmed through a fair bit of it and I'm sure I still got all the juicy bits. A criticism I've had of the solapanel is that they tend to post long. I reckon Tony is the only one there who can consistently write a good 1000 word piece. But most blog entries should stick to a 500 word max. Get the ideas on the page, squeeze 'em in there thick and gooey. Don't bother with nuance, don't bother presenting the other side of the case, don't bother backing up and explaining every idea - this is not a college essay. If someone picks up on something you've glossed over, defend it in the comments.
Just my opinion of course...but I've been playing this game for a while...
