Diablo is now Ted Foan

The next stage of the "re-making of the Diablo blog" - thanks Mr President for that phrase - is now (almost) complete. Those of you astute enough will quickly spot that it is simply a change of name.

But, for me, it is more than that. Whilst I have enjoyed using a nomme de plume for the last few years to peddle my views in the blogosphere - not least because I did not want to embarrass my previous employer or, indeed my old colleagues - the time has come to speak in my own name.

It will be interesting to see if anyone actually notices! Even though I seem to have lost a bit of it! Working on getting it back!

Update: Have changed template and found the other bits!

Preparing for the coming storm

Unlike Gordon Brown who failed to mend the roof in the good times, Diablo (pictured left) has begun working on re-modelling this blog so it will be better placed to add to the assault on this abysmal and failed Labour government over the next few months and drive it out of office. What more noble enterprise can there be?

It might take a little while before you see any significant changes but the new layout is a start. Hang in there! Things can only get better! (As someone once said!)

Diablo Brand Re-Launched

When I first started this blog in February 2005 I was exercised about fox hunting (go on, have a read - it's quite good, if I say so myself!) and very encouraged that the Michael Howard-led Conservative Party had a good chance of knocking the Blair government off its pedestal. Alas, it wasn't to be and my enthusiasm for blogging waned.

But by June 2007 I was getting so angry about the damage that the Blair/Brown hegemony had done that I resurrected the Diablo "brand". Hah! you might say - some brand!

Don't laugh but today I have reached a milestone. My profile has received five hundred hits! Wow! That means at least one person has looked at it five hundred times! Or, possibly, five hundred individuals have bothered to look at the Diablo profile. Either way, I've been noticed!

Not really..... I haven't counted but I reckon that I have received maybe 10 or so comments on the 75 posts I have made spanning the last three years. Not really on a par with Iain Dale, Guido or Political Betting is it? (OK, I know it's not as bad as Chris Paul who has posted 47,609 times and received 321 comments - at least half of which he wrote himself - but I'm not really making much headway, am I?)

So, what to do? Well, my loyal reader (sic) I am pleased to announce here that the Diablo site will be re-launched in the very near future: there will be more bells and whistles, more perzazz, more in-depth analysis and a greater emphasis on you - the reader - and what you want to read. It will be your site with the added attraction of some new guest bloggers, some of whom you know already.

Keep your eye on the Diablo blog - it's where it's happening!
