Update The blogs will be gradually assuming their new form over the course of today. Things might be a little slow or glitchy, please bear with us and we hope to sort everything out soon.
Many of you have probably noticed a change in the arts blogs, one we hope you'll agree is for the better. We're having a revamp, with the aim of making our books, film, art, music, theatre, and TV and radio blogs more accessible, fast-moving, and more, well, bloggish. We'll be immediately responding to events, pointing out things that interest us (and hopefully you) elsewhere on the web, and giving our critics the chance to ruminate on what they've been doing as well as start a conversation - or indeed argument.
Another aim is to give each of the arts blogs an opportunity to develop their own character more fully. We've got exciting plans to this end which will be revealed over the course of the summer. More immediately, Your photographs is to move to the art site - please keep your fantastic contributions coming - while fans of Song of the day should find their needs more than met by the boosted music blog. At long last, we'll have a blog roll of our favourite arts bloggers, while site navigation should be made easier thanks to our new column of site-specific categories.
We really hope you think the revamp works. Please let us know what you think of it, and in the meantime, let us know what you would like to see done differently on any of the arts blogs. Are there some brilliant arts bloggers out there we should be checking out more often? Would you like to see other areas of the arts covered in more detail? Let us know your views, and we'll take it all into consideration.
Thanks again to everyone who's read, commented or contributed to the arts blogs over the past 15 months. Here's to phase two.
