Here is a copy of the note we sent to The Telegraph staff announcing the official launch today:

I am pleased to announce the launch of our first three Telegraph blogs this afternoon:http://blogs.nashuatelegraph.com

The Pop Diner - a popular culture, stream-of-Tivo-consciousness commentary by the Features desk.

The Editor’s Blog - Nick takes on media transparency issues and reader questions

Web Notes- Where I will be providing updates on the plans for the Web site andanswering questions about why it is loading so slowly {today |yesterday | last week | next week }

Please take a look through - and yell if you find any errors and/or if you have suggestions.

These first blogs are a development platform, and over the next month or sowe will continue to work with the design as well as the style and focusof the writing. In June we hope to be able to start working with otherstaffers (or groups of staff) to identify and launch additional blogs.If you have thoughts in this direction, please let me know.

Thanks

Damon
