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.

Remembrance Path photos

Wren Miller, half of Wren and Ray, has been posting photos on her Facebook chronicling the development of The Remembrance Path, a participatory art exhibition in the Quarry Park that’ll be open over the weekend of the 4th and 5th.

She starts with the sketches:

Most of the photos have detailed captions and following them through gives a great sense of what they’re trying to do here. Go check them out.
