Madeline McCann: the lastest allegations
This article from 'The Telegraph' online, (the most recent one i found anyway) speculates on yet another angle on the four year olds miraculous dissapearance;
she fell down the stairs? Apparently.
Yesterday it was an 'accidental' sedative overdose.
Three days prior it was suggested she was killed and the body was hid in the Mccanns fridge?
I am not suggesting these articles are false, of course it is extremely intriguing to read and follow; everyone wants to know what happened to cute little maddy, but why all these incredible accusations??
Just imagine, you have lost your child. you are absoloutly beside yourself. it is now nearly 5 months since her dissapearance, and these ludicrous stories are seeping through the media. Is it because the police have no more leads?
Are they a bit tired of the whole thing and now producing these stories with the tinyiset pieces of evidence?
or is the media? who knows. who actually knows? No really, please someone help!

Madeline's website was extremely moving to read, it is understandable that Gerry MCcann keeps a blog, why shouldnt he? It can be used in many ways, one of those being an online 'diary'. it is also a clever method to keep the media at bay; clicking on to Gerry's blog everyday gives an insight to a REAL family trauma, not one that is hidden from the press, but is involving them.
searching the web for other posts or suggestions, i found a peice by Boris Johnson (yes, that MP guy) who really reflects how the run of the story has excelled.(check it out-it makes sense).
Firstly, the world was of course sympathetic, a small child was lost abroad, kiddnapped, murdered? who actually thought it COULD be the parents? honestly, no one really thought that. and much like the piece i am writing now. no one REALLY knows where to turn anymore. the truth is out there somwhere, its just a matter of finding it. The stories that are produced everday, are they just shadowing the truth completley; will we ever really know?

You've found some good links here and the idea for the post is good. The way the McCanns have used the net alongside traditional media is interesting and affects how you see the case. I also like the link to Boris Johnson's take on the case - it's interesting that he's keeping his own blog... all part of his London mayoral campaign, I guess.
I think you need to take care with your writing - just because something is online doesn't mean you can avoid using capitals and proper punctation. You also need to check spelling and space the post out more effectively. Remember, you can go back and edit/correct posts after they've been published.
Think about how to personalise your blog - you could add a list of links to favourite sites or feeds of interesting news stories. You could also add photos to the posts and to the blog too. You'll need to do that for the blog you create for the assessment next week.
Also watch out for this template - it doesn't have a header, so you need to use content in the sidebar to let people know what the blog is about.
