Margot Wallström Weblog II

Earlier I wrote about the new weblog of Margot Wallström, vice-president of the European Commission. Then there were no interactive components in her weblog. But now there is. Comments and trackback have been added, as promised, and also a RSS feed is now available.

Ms. Wallström writes about the responses she got to her weblog per e-mail:

Thanks to all of you who have read and reacted to my blog! And I guess it‘s in the human nature to react more emotionally to the negative comments. The one I liked the most was the guy who wanted my recycled paper bag to throw up in! Funny!.......
The EU negative crowd in the UK or elsewhere seem very happy to have found in me another object for hatred – help yourselves! To those who have sent encouraging messages: that‘s what keeps me going – thank you!

Also the url of the weblog has changed. First it was hosted under the European Commission pages, now that url is redirected to weblogs.jrc.cec.eu.int. JRC stands for the European Joint Research Center. The fact that the url now contains a subdomain weblogs seems to promise more EU weblogs in the future.
