« IAmNashvilleIsTalking.com | Main | More Blogging About A Blog About News Media Blogging » July 31, 2005I'm BackWell, I had loads of fun guest-blogging over at NashvilleIsTalking.com. I've never guest-blogged before, and I gotta tell ya, it's an interesting experience. A few of the 24 posts I posted Saturday and Sunday were identical to what I would have posted here - I'll probably copy some of those here tomorrow - but most were things I'd only write for that blog, given that my role there was, in part, to highlight various Nashville bloggers. Guest-blogging on someone else's site, it seems to me, entails a duty to respect the host blogger's mission, and not act is if you own the place. Because NashvilleIsTalking.com is supposed to function as a clearinghouse for all kinds of Nashville blogs - political, non-political, left, right, serious, unserious - being the guest-blogger forced me to look at and link to blogs I'd never look at or link to here. I've been doing this site so long that I fear it has become very formulaic. I have a long blogroll here, but - truthfully - I rarely click more than 10 of those links anymore. I ought to change that - because it most certainly means I'm missing out on some good stuff and missing the chance to share it with my readers. So, I'm optimistic that venturing out to NIT for a few days will impact this site in a positive way. And if you followed me over to NIT this weekend, I hope you enjoyed what I did there. I know I did. And the $500 Mike Sechrist is paying his weekend guest-bloggers sure is nice too. ;-) Comments
A few of the 24 posts I posted Saturday and Sunday Again, why the specificity on the numbers? You really want that medal, dontcha? And the $500 Mike Sechrist is paying his weekend guest-bloggers sure is nice too. ;-) Five hundie, huh? Is that a joke? I thought it was $100. Did they throw you some extra cause you are "famous"? Did you make sure everyone was paid the same as you before ya went blabbing? Posted by: Carter at July 31, 2005 11:05 PMYou don't understand humor do you? I was just teasing Sechrist. No, they aren't paying me $500. As for the 24, I mentioned here because I hadn't posted here for two solid days so I wanted my readers to know they could find 24 new items over at NIT.

Posted by: Carter at July 31, 2005 11:28 PMBill: I'm out of town for the week but kept up with your posts on NiT over the weekend. I'm glad you could do it. I did choke on my coffee when I read "$500". I think the weekend guest blogger has been a huge success and is a great showcase of the diverse talent we have in middle Tennessee. Thanks again and I hope to see you soon. Posted by: mike at August 3, 2005 6:29 AMPost a comment
