Iran's president launches weblog.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has joined a burgeoning 
international community - by starting his own weblog.

The launch of www.ahmadinejad.ir was reported on state TV, which urged 
users to send in messages to the president.

Mr Ahmadinejad's first posting, entitled autobiography, tells of his 
childhood, Iran's Islamic revolution, and the country's war with Iraq.

The blog includes a poll asking if users think the US and Israel are 
trying to trigger a new world war.

There is a postform for users to send in questions for the president, 
and a picture gallery containing a series of images of the blogger himself.

The move by Mr Ahmadinejad comes amid continuing internet censorship by 
the Iranian government.
