Blogging for Posterity - about the History Matters Campaign

The History Matters Campaign invites bloggers to "Share Your 'blog' with future generations" and asks "What did you do on 17 October 2006?"

The posts are limited to a maximum of 650 words, for the purposes of submission in the campaign.  Bloggers are also directed as follows:

"You are, however, encouraged to include in your diary-blog something about how history impacted on you that day - whether it be simply travelling past an historic landmark, discussing family history at home, watching another repeat of Only Fools and Horses, or listening to Dad's 60's music, again!  It could be anything."

Thanks to both the devine Ms Dudman and the magnanimous Maxine for the heads up!
