Inside the Blogger’s Studio: IdolStalker.com
Reality on Bravo is proud to present Inside the Blogger’s Studio–a spin on Inside the Actor’s Studio, specifically for bloggers. Here, we’ll talk about the journey each blogger has taken to get where they are today, hopefully to inspire others to blog their hearts out.
Today’s guest is a true Idol fanatic–she watches the show in both the United States and Canada. Her blog, www.idolstalker.com, is one of the leading sources on the ‘net for news, reviews, and, of course, lots of gossip! Welcome, Jeanne Dupuis.
RoB: How did you get into blogging in the beginning?
Jeanne: I applied for a job that I thought was interesting.
What other blogging experiences have you had?
I write for daytimetalk.com, beyonce-k.com and a city guide for Calgary, Alberta (calgary.cityguide.ca)
Have you had any negative experiences blogging? How has that helped you grow?
I’ve had a run-in with a well-known blogger which was completely bogus and I had Splash News threaten me for using one of their images without written permission.
What projects do you have planned for blogging in the future?
Really, mostly improving upon the blogs I currently write.
What are some of your favorite posts from the past?
I went crazy about American Idol season 6 cast-off, Chris Sligh. It was liberating…
And now, here are the 10 questions compiled by Bernard Pivot, made famous by James Lipton, and modified for the blogging world
1. What is your favorite word?
Love
2. What is your least favorite word?
Zucchini
3. What kinds of readers turn you on?
Active ones!
4. What kinds of readers turn you off?
Unnecessarily critical ones. We can have opinions without attacking others.
5. What is your favorite curse word?
Hmm…ass, I think
6. What blogging responsibility do you love?
Responding to the requests of visitors
7. What blogging responsibility do you hate?
tagging, ugh…
9. What blog subject other than your own would you like to write about?
Some ultra gossipy celeb, environmental issues and distance education
9. What blog subject would you not like to write about?
Taxes
10. If the leader in your field was to read your blog, what would like to hear him/her say?
That he/she learned something
What advice would you give to someone interested in blogging?
Make sure you are dedicated. It’s a lot more work than you think!
Thanks, Jeanne!
