So according to an article in The Sun, and as reported on the Sarah and Vinnie show, of the Top 10 Jobs Kids (ages six to 17-year-olds) Want, #2 is blogger. When I was 17 I wanted to be a flogger, but that's another story.
To be fair, it actually states "blogger/vlogger," vlogger being one who blogs via video rather than words. In other words lazy, narcissistic, illiterates. I kid of course. Sort of.
I was rather heartened to hear this because I used to be a very devoted blogger and had upwards of 12 regular readers. But with the advent of Facebook and Twitter I found that no one had the attention span to slog through a 300 word blog post. I also found that I didn't seem to have the interest or energy to write a 300 word blog post when I could satisfy my lazy, narcissistic side by slamming out Facebook posts and 140 character Twitter gold, both of which enjoyed not only instant publication but, at least in my case, upwards of 20 "friends/followers."
But I miss blogging and would like to go back to it. Knowing that there's a waiting audience of wannabe bloggers out there perhaps that's just the incentive I need to delve back into it. And crafting blogs geared toward an immature, sophomoric audience of 6-17 year olds should be cake for professional buffoon like me.
