As I predicted, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams’s time in the blogosphere was brief. His blog is dead, and to make matters worse, it wasn’t really a blog. The thing lacked permalinks, which is a bare minimum blog feature. Without a permanent link, you can’t link or trackback to individual posts.

Ken Yarmosh and I are developing blogging seminars for non-profits, and I think local governments could use some blog help, too.
