Some links about our friends in the nationals that have been hanging around in my Chrome tabs for too long now:

- *The Independent* has [switched its blogs from Livejournal to WordPress](http://publisherblog.automattic.com/2010/06/08/the-independent-switches-to-wordpress/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). Makes sense. LJ always seemed like an odd fit.
- *The Guardian* is trying a [new approach to covering science stories](http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2010/jun/09/science-story-trackers?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). About time someone tried an alternative – mainstream science coverage tends to be *awful*.
- *The Sun* proves that it’s remarkably talented at [annoying sports bloggers](http://www.garyandrews.net/2010/06/15/the-sun-how-not-to-win-friends-or-influence-bloggers/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).
- *The Financial Times*[experiments with paywalled blogs](http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2010/06/10/the-fts-experiment-with-paywalled-blogs/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). I think there’s room for paywalled blogs – but I think moving an existing one behind a paywall is an error.
