\"DavidWhy should people read your blog?<\/strong><\/span>
It provides a read and an update on the economy which is always accessible to non-specialists.<\/p>\n

The most important issue in your blogosphere is\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>whether economies like Britain\u2019s can recover from their post-crisis hangover, and whether the government is doing the right thing to achieve that.<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite blog and why?<\/strong><\/span>
There are a lot of blogs I follow but most are connected with newspapers, rather than freestanding, so for example Chris Giles\u2019s FT blog<\/a>, or Jeremy Warner\u2019s Telegraph blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How often do you aim to post?<\/strong><\/span>
Between three and five times a week.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about guest posts?<\/strong><\/span>
I publish some independent research but not yet guest posts.<\/p>\n

How does a good PR work with you?<\/strong><\/span>
By demonstrating that they know what the blog is all about, and by suggesting things that are relevant to it.<\/p>\n

What do PRs do that’s bad?<\/strong><\/span>
Suggesting things that are not relevant and, worst of all, suggesting you might like to write the same story again but with quotes from their client.<\/p>\n
