The Times has a handful of blogs already, and has just launched a new one, Comment Central. It's interesting because the paper's comment editor is collecting the best comment from around the web and linking to it from his site. A national newspaper directly engaging with blogs like that? Very cool.
I do like the post exposing the government's split personality about chips.
As an aside, I also find it very interesting that The Times' blogs are hosted on Typepad and, as yet, they've done nothing to integrate them with the existing domain structure - something that's trivially easy to do with the service.

Looks like a good blog. I hate the Guardian blogs and having to register before commenting.I hate them so much I don't bother reading them.

Have you read Michael Gove's report about blogs today? He likes The DF blog too, it has certainly had lots of good plugs. Anyway, I've written about why I feel Gove was wrong on my site today if you are interersted.

Oh, thanks for that, Ellee. It's interesting. I'll post about it later on.
