Good morning Leeds.
I'd like to kick off my mentioning a community blogging workshop I held with our friends at South Leeds Community Radio yesterday afternoon. A group of local residents have agreed to meet again and look at setting up a collaborative blog for the South Leeds area. I'll keep you posted on developments - the more people involved, the merrier! Tonight I'll be speaking about the Guardian Local project at the Northern Bloggers meeting at Old Broadcasting House in Woodhouse Lane. Be great if you could make it!
Coming up today, I'll have a report on the Leeds lights swtch-on with McFly and Shayne Ward last night. If you have any pictures from the big event, please do add them to our Flickr group pool.
