08.27.2007 Share your blogs!
Joss Stone does it. So does Lupe Fiasco. Heck, even the squeaky clean John Legend does it. That’s right, they all blog! It’s the internet craze that’s sweeping the…internet. So if you’ve got a blog and are writing about this year’s Bumbershoot Festival, we want to share it with the masses. Just send us the link and we’ll post it on our website where millions of people (or at least a couple dozen) will read it each day. No, it’s not a contest and you won’t be winning tickets to a sunny destination, but you still might want to put on sunscreen because you’ll be getting some serious exposure. So load up your laptops, calibrate your keyboards, and start blogging!
