The Walker started using blogs in February but they're really just starting to take off. http://blogs.walkerart.org is getting a fair amount of traffic: last month we logged 6,422 user sessions; 38,157 page views; and 1,234 user hours. We're pretty excited about how they're evolving and see them as an opportunity to personalize the Walker, reveal the work behind the scenes, and set up a direct line of communication from the Walker to all and sundry.
