On Tuesday October 17th are asking people to take part in the "biggest blog in history" The aim is to create a snapshot of a day in history, in their words:

We want as many people as possible - tens of thousands of UK residents - to record a 'blog' diary of this one day to be held by the British Library and others as a record of our national life.

It's an interesting idea, and it does illustrate how bloggers are day-in, day-out creating history, though you could argue the internet is already archiving blog posts in this way.

We'll be talking to the organisers but we'd like to hear from you. If you are starting your day - particularly if you work, live or study somewhere with an interesting history - drop a note to podsandblogs@bbc.co.uk or leave a note in comments. We want to kick the day off and are looking for a couple of people to join us live on the radio at 0240(ish) to talk about what they might "blog" on this day. If you pefer to confine yourself to print drop a note into the comments on this post on the morning of the 17th and we'll read some of them out.

BTW If you do send us a blog be sure to cut and paste your diaries into
