Paul Lay, the new editor of Britain's History Today magazine launched a blog, a "daily digest of historical comment", on January 12. Blogged Jan 12, 13, 14, 15, ... since then, nada. Hey, I know the feeling. Who said it was easy? Still, there is lots of stuff in the History Today online archives, accessible from the blog site.
Late update: They also have a history news service -- active and interesting.
