There's quite a few perks to this job. Get up whatever time you like. Work from home and avoid the morning commute to work. Find as much or as little work as you want to do on any given day. And, of course, the money's not too bad either when a project works out how you intended.

One unexpected perk occured last week, however, when I was invited up - because of the London related sites that I run - by ITV Local to the studios of ITN to see how they they put together their news programmes and and to learn more about their own website at ITVLocal.com. A group of five bloggers got the full guided tour, which included wandering around the set of their news programmes, sitting in the gallery whilst London Tonight went out live, and then, the highpoint, meeting the legendary Alastair Stewart.



Thanks ITV!
