Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog

What is Bloggertalks and why should I care?

That’s you asking the question, in case you didn’t get that…

Seriously, it’s time to spill the beans on Bloggertalks (yeah, I lost the dot com there), with the upcoming launch and all.

So what is it? Well, I usually describe it as an interview blog about the blogosphere and its bloggers. The idea is to interview interesting bloggers on various topics, so that they can share their ideas and experiences with Bloggertalks’ readers.

I am, however, stepping back a bit from the traditional blog updating flow. There won’t be daily interviews or anything like that, instead we’re doing two each week and we’re doing them a bit deeper than you would see on other sites, perhaps. It’s more of a print-style, err, style that I’m looking for, although I won’t force it for every interview. Sometimes question-answer, question-answer, as is standard online, is the best way to go. I think it’ll be a nice mix.

These interviews will be the major part of Bloggertalks, but we’ll also have a quicklinks section with interesting tidbits, as well as an upcoming weekly feature that I don’t feel like talking about at the moment.

So there you have it, the basics of Bloggertalks. I hope it’s obvious why you should care, but if not I’ll just spell it out for you. You need to learn, and we’re talking to people who you can learn from. It’s as simple as that.

The launch is imminent. Stay tuned.
