Radio blogging

At the first Manchester Blog Awards a few weeks ago at Urbis, a couple of local bloggers stood up and read some of their postings, (my feelings only slightly hurt at not be asked to read any of mine).

As a rule Blogs are not intended to be read out loud even though bits of them often are, especially when I spot something really funny or pertinent and randomly read it out to people sat around me in the office who then grumble something along the lines of me getting on with some ‘proper work’.

So, with this in mind, I’ve decided to include a regular Blog Spot into my afternoon programme on BBC Radio Manchester.

The plan is to have a regular look at what Manchester people are blogging about and, from time to time, get a blogger in to talk about what they’re saying on the internet and generally what makes them tick and get some pointers and tips on good blogging.

The first of these is this Thursday (30th November) when I’ll be chatting to Julia about her Notebooks blog. You’ll be able to listen online live at 2pm with the chance to Listen Again after the programme. We’ll also put a link to it on here.
