Why set up a new blog?

Firstly, four bloggers into one blog hopefully will lead to more readers, but also different types of readers.

Secondly, after speaking to a lot of people, most people would like to blog, but just don't have the time or dedication to keep a regular one. So this blog will be a platform for one off or sporadic blogs.
