I had a shock yesterday. The number of visitors to Ertblog sky-rocketed. When I looked at where visitors were coming from, I spotted a link from the BBC’s Editors’ Blog. The BBC blog featured my post about Guardian writer Emily Bell’s comments about the BBC in its sidebar. It just shows how useful it is to get a link from a high profile site – and they don’t get much more high profile than the BBC.

I hope any new Ertblog readers enjoy the ride!

I should add that I am a fan of Emily Bell, despite my comments on her BBC piece. She is a breath of fresh air, although I do take what she says with a pinch of salt…
