A blogger is a different breed. We are driven, obsessive, and constant self-promoters.
I learned how to blog from a guy who sat across from me at the LA Daily News. His name was Greg Hernandez and he blogged constantly. This garnered a lot of attention, which led to blog envy (on my part). When I launched a blog at the paper we became instant rivals but also best blogger friends.
We shared tips, compared stats (5,430,499 wins for him, 19 for me) and learned from each other. He showed me how to embed videos and overcome my fear of telling everyone I know about my blog. I showed him how to align photos.
Now, he is blogging independently just like me. Greg in Hollywood is all things pop culture through a gay man’s eyes.
And so our mostly good-natured rivalry continues. I have one month on him, but no doubt he will catch up to me quickly. Good luck, Greg!

I was sad to see you both leave the Daily News, but thrilled you are both still blogging and also friends!

I always read Greg’s Out in Hollywood column in the Daily News, and will miss seeing him in print. However, I’m glad to know he’s also a blogger (although I’m not really into using the ‘net for blogs.. I’m the old-fashioned, paper-in-hand type). I’ll plan to check out his blog. How nice that the two of you are such well-connected bloggers! Good luck to you both.
