The Thanet Star

Guest Bloggers.

Written by Matt B · first published 10/12/2008

Something new for Thanet blogs. Guest posting.

A guest post is where one blogger writes a post but for someone else's blog. This might sound like an odd idea at first. Yet it is to the benefit of both writers and the readers.

The readers get a change of pace and to find out about a reader that they might not read otherwise. The guest writer get's to address someone else's audience while pointing back to their own work (most often in a short bio at the end). This can often let the guest writer talk about a topic that does not fit their own blog.

The blog owner benefits by having a post written by someone else.

I've been thinking about engaging in this practice and was wondering if anyone was interested in guest blogging at the Thanet Star? The offer is open to all regardless of party or the past exchange of words (with the exception of Sandy Ezekiel whom I just plain don't like).

The temptation to "just let rip" is sometimes huge. I hear where you are coming from there.
