WASHINGTON – It was late on Aug. 22 when Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt wrapped up 1,250 words on his experiences in Mozambique. There was more he wanted to write about online, but he had to be up early.

“I think I’ll post and go to bed,” he wrote on his Web log.

Leavitt and Michael Chertoff at Homeland Security are the first two members of President Bush’s Cabinet who are blogging. They are among the more than 61 million Internet blogs, according to blogpulse.com, a site that tracks blogs.

The State Department has begun a blog, too, although Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is not a contributor so far.

Ups.. sorry, mistype your name… I mean thanks a lot, Ong… 🙂

Thank You Lala. It’s been a pleasure being involved but the real credit goes to Hanny Kusumawati of Maverick who’s been absolutely wonderful as Pesta Mananager in getting everything going. And of course to Enda and all the bloggers in the Steering Committee for being such great sports ;).
