Now. I’m not Civil Serf, and I’m certainly not Washingtonienne. I quite like both of them, though. But I’m not here to push the boundaries, to see how much I can get away with. Alas, if anyone’s here expecting forthright and perhaps controversial views on foreign policy they’re likely to be disappointed – I’ll leave that to the FCO Bloggers.

What I will say, though, is that later on this year I hope to revamp my Embassy’s website and, in the process, to add a lot more web2.0 content. The main FCO website has espoused blogs, YouTube clips and Flickr albums to great effect. We’ll be looking closely at how we in Moscow can follow the example.
