BBC Wales Political Editor Betsan Powys joined the BBC's Interactive Communities Executive for Audio and Music Jem Stone in a conversation about her experiences blogging politics in Wales.

Blogging since the Welsh elections in 2007, Betsan is modest about her achievements but was quick to illustrate how the process helps with her output.

Does she consider herself a blogger now or a journalist who blogs? "I love blogging," she said, "but I know there are many others around who are naturals at it. I have become accustomed to it. It's not my enemy now."

And peer reaction? "Members of the political community in Wales make out they don't read my blog - at least they do when I'm talking to them - but I've seen them reading it when I've gone to various events."
