Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services be they weblogs, photo and video sharing sites like Flickr and YouTube or Twitter. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.

This blog will act as a hub, collecting and linking to online activity that is either relevant to the festival or Shrewsbury in general, and posting things to to help and inspire you to blog about Shift-Time.

So get involved by setting up a blog or sharing your photos and videos online and let us know what you're up to so we can mention it on the blog.

Blogging Surgery on Tuesday evening

by Pete Ashton

The Hive - Photo by Steve GreenGetting involved in the Shift-Time blogging project is easy. Simply put something relevant on the Internet and let us know about it.

But if you need some help or want to do something a little more adventurous we’re holding a surgery on Tuesday 23rd at The Hive in Shrewsbury from 6-8pm. You can get help with the techy stuff from me, Pete Ashton, and talk to some of the organisers of the festival about getting official access to the events.

Bring your laptop if you like but there’ll be a couple of computers available. It’s run on a drop-in basis and I’ll be dealing with everyone in turn but will endeavour to spend 20 minutes or so with you.

If you can’t make the surgery you can always ask me stuff via Twitter.
