I like *[Countryfile](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t0bv?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)* on TV, and I like *[Countryfile](http://www.bbccountryfilemagazine.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)*[ the magazine](http://www.bbccountryfilemagazine.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) (I’m a rural chap at heart). Buy it every issue, in fact, and how many magazines can I say that about any more? But I do find their [blogs page](http://www.bbccountryfilemagazine.com/blogs?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) profoundly depressing. Too many blogs launched in a burst of enthusiasm, and then quickly left to subside into abeyance. And no proper index page of any of the blogs. They sorta look like blogs, but aren’t really.

Competitively speaking, I’m glad so many publishers are still getting the fundamentals of blogging wrong. Personally, I find it disappointing.
