Launched on 27 February, the blog is the latest innovation on Guardian Unlimited that gives readers the chance to interact with the paper's news team.
The blog is led by Observer web editor Rafael Behr and gives the editorial team the chance to explain the process and decisions behind the big news stories.
The blog also features a 'folksonomic zeitgeist' diagram - a visual representation of the most popular subjects covered by the blog.
Recent entries have revealed an obscure music quiz consuming staff and how the team put the final touches to the paper on Saturday - complete with fish and chips for the late team.
Feedback included: "This still seems weird though - I buy and read the Observer, then I read about how it was made. What does this mean for me and my Sunday paper? It's like I'm stalking it. I'll be flicking through the news section next week wondering if the political editor got indigestion again."
