Hello! Welcome to M20.org.uk - this is the first (and therefore introductory) post. My name is Stuart Brown, and I also write for the moderately popular Modern Life weblog, covering stuff about web design, new technologies and media.

I decided to spin off the Modern Life template & blog system to another blog, with a more polarised approach towards my life in Manchester - covering events, happenings and newsy items rather than the tech-oriented side of Modern Life. I just so happened to have the M20.org.uk domain handy, and - as it's the first part of my Manchester post code, I thought it would be ideal.

After attending the BBC Manchester Blog workshop, I realised that with the readership of ML I simply couldn't engage with people on a more local level without alienating a few thousand people - and regardless, two blogs are better than one.

So, bear with me, I need to get busy researching stuff for the local Manchester scene - and hopefully with the forthcoming pleasant weather I'll be able to get some nice photographs in and around the Manchester area. In the meantime, subscribe to the M20 feed and hopefully - give it a couple of weeks - it'll be full steam ahead!
