Patrick Ruffini gives some very practical advice in his recent post Congressional Blogging: A Guide. As some one who really understands the medium well, he is able to tie together the components of blogging for those (who, even if we’re not a politician) are unsure how to go about it.

Four congressmen blog. Patrick notices that Senator Frist has been posting personal updates in a form of a blog.

Politicians from other countries have also started to blog, like the VVD finance minister in the Netherlands — Gerrit Zalm.
