Get ready for the Yorkshire Post blog revolution

Hi there blog fans - yes all four of you; mum, dad, my good friend Rob McBride and some chap I met in the mess called Bernard.

After an extended hiatus from all things blogging, myself and the rest of the Yorkshire Post sports team have decided to relaunch the blog network and will be hitting readers of the esteemed northern publication and its associated website with a three-prongued attack.

It begins with the hard-hitting Matt Reeder, sports editor extraordinaire of the desk, a veteran of World Cup final coverage and Champions League semi-finals. Matt is a multi-award winning journalist and now the director of football of Tockwith Juniors Under 7s.

Try and encourage him to blog about the time that as an impartial referee he hi-fived his son for scoring a goal. He also has a 'great' story about when he interviewed David Beckham.

Next up is Dave Craven, the Yorkshire Post's latest signing who has slipped effortlessly into the role of rugby league correspondent. It's a timely appointment I'm sure you'll admit, with the Super League season set to conclude in a little over a week!

So with four months to sit twiddling his thumbs and work his backside groove into his swivvely desk chair, what better way we thought than to fill his time by making the bugger blog about the sport he loves best.

Dave has a strange fascination with the X-Factor so look out for him boring the pants off everyone as he regales us with tales of the funny comment Louis made.

And then there's myself, who after blogging consistently last summer, somehow lost the ability to do so again. I got lost in reading and re-reading my NFL post last October which I was mightily proud of and therefore mightily miffed to learn even my dad didn't like it.

The NFL will be another of the topics I'll be covering in my weekly blog, along with the other sports I cover for the Yorkshire Post, namely, rugby union, golf, the Olympics, Formula 1, stag doo go-karting and pro-celebrity javelin throwing.

So we're all back - and we reckon we might even be able to convince ice hockey and squash reporter Phil Harrison to follow suit - admittedly without a regular time slot and date at which we will be communciating to you, but with a solemn promise that amid a world seduced by such technologies as 'Facebook', 'Twitter' and 'Statellite Television', we here at the Yorkshire Post will stay true to the pioneering world wide web phenomenon of talking rubbish, and thinking ourselves intelligent as we do so. Blogging.

Fasten your seat belts, and await further updates.
