Of course not, they just add “blogger” to there resume.
So if a known writer starts a blog they cease to be a writer anymore?
About
People who run Blogs are referred to as “Bloggers”. They aren’t classified as writers or commentators hence why the term “Blogger” and “Blogosphere”
where coined. Also the fact they aren’t published and don’t sell copies also relays to the fact.
Well if your 9 year old nieces blog is as well put together as well written and as informative as this one then by all means go right ahead
I didn’t know Sidney Sheldon (creator of I Dream Of Jeannie) wow! tnat’s kind of sad.
Well, I guess the majority of the world are “writers” then eh?
My 9 year old niece has a blog, now I can call here an established writer when describing her
Thanks for Bewitched correction.
“I’ve never heard a blogger called a “writer” before.”
lol
You’ve gotta be kidding right??
Nice work. Charmaine’s death was very sad. And hate to be picky but Alice Ghostley played Esmeralda in Bewitched.
Thanks. The website is one of several media: radio, print and online. Now then, back to those we lost….
Dave have you been hitting the sauce hard this holiday season?
I’ve never heard a blogger called a “writer” before.
