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.

The wonder of woolies

I got an email from one of our artists today.

Feng-Ru Lee is appearing at Shift Time as her alter-ego Milee The Sheep.

Now she’s had an idea that it might be a good idea to have a real sheep alongside. So the search is on for a crowd-friendly ovine.

Never a dull moment.
