Must be something in the air, as we've got a few new bits and pieces to talk about on Flightglobal this week.
Yesterday we updated our Blogs page - which use to simply list all the Flightglobal bloggers on the payroll, plus the latest posts.
The new-look Blogs (and Social Media) page continues to feature all our expert Flightglobal blogs and posts, but in addition we've added a bunch of extra goodies for blog fans to enjoy.
We have a new tab for our excellent collection of AirSpace bloggers. This growing portfolio of bloggers from the community of AirSpace members covers various different subjects, angles and indeed continents.
If you'd like to start a blog on AirSpace and be featured on this tab then let our Community Editor Stuart Clarke (aka Maverick on AirSpace) know.
Then there's a tab for the latest comments added to the Flightglobal blogs.
Obviously blogs are a two-way medium and all comments (as long as they're not offensive) are welcome and discussed in the Flightglobal Offices. We currently average around 200+ comments a week on our blogs with most of them being of an extremely high quality.
Lastly, there's a tab for Twitter. This lists the Twitter handles of Flightglobal staffers, our sector-specific Twitter accounts, and also our current Twitter favs from the world of Aerospace and Aviation.

I did much prefer the older page, I must confess.
It may have to do with my system:
Mac G4, OS 10.4.11, Safari 4.0.4
but the page shows in an awful way: all special characters are shown in "´" form.

Could you please add text that lets you know which blogger wrote the posts on the "Latest Post" Tab. Who wrote each post makes up an important part of my decision on whether to read it or not.

I much prefer the old page. It was easier to determine which blog had new posts.

My only gripe about the new format is that it's hard to tell what the last post on each blog was. The prior version was more user friendly.
The prior version showed the headings for the previous two posts from each blog.
It would be nice to be able to tell at a glance when there is new/unread content on each blog.
Also I'd like to second the previous comment on adding the blog name to the latest post information, as some blogs I prefer to follow more closely than others.

Hi guys,
thanks for the comments. We'll see if we can do something about that.

Hi,
Thank you for all your comments, i created the page and so will look into your comments and amend the page accordingly. In reference to the Safari browser issue, i have checked this out in the latest browser on my MAC and it looks fine to me. I will look into it further though.
