This Thursday there is going to be an article in our newspaper regarding blogging. I was one of the few who were interviewed for the article as local blogger. I don’t how many were interviewed, but I really don’t think there are many us around. I spoke with a reporter a couple of weeks ago and was awaiting confirmation about when the article was going to be printed before I mentioned it here.
Questions were fairly ‘standard’. Such as, “Why do you blog?”, “How long have you been blogging?”. I was curious if the words podcast or RSS were going to be mentioned in the interview, but they never were.
I’m a little nervous about it, as I really don’t talk about it with friends and family and they probably don’t even know about it. That may change Thursday.
So, have you had any requests for autographs?
Oy! Don’t get me started. For starters, no, not a single person mentioned anything to me(which is fine).
But secondly, and most importantly was how bad our newspaper messed up the opportunity for a good article.
The article itself was well written, but they didn’t give any links to the blogs mentioned. So, IMHO, the article was completely worthless. I mention a little about it on another blog I maintain here.
