"Details of what was included in today's lunchtime release are in my technical update blog post"

Why are we having to read a blog ?

Just post the information on the announcement board

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

Interesting suggestion. Having to think this one through. :-)

The reason I am doing it this way is that I intend to write a Technical Update for each release, and the Blog section allows these to be easier to group. I also intend to publish some screen shots in future and include lists. The Boards don't allow me that flexibility.

Researching:
I am the former lead developer for the Genes Reunited website team and the former lead developer of the Findmypast Tree team. I do not work for this company anymore.

Other sites ie rootschat allow such things as pictures and screen shots, Phil, so surely genes reunited could enable them, too?

I tend to forget about blogs and only looked at one just now because I looked at your link in the announcements board.

An Information board is something that I would take notice of and would remember it; blogs, no, sorry, I doubt I would remember them and, for some people in this site after certain shenanigans a while ago, just the word blog leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
