In future, I should remember that what is said to a journalist is not always the message that makes it to paper and what is written is not always what is published!<\/p>\n<p>My part in Rob Griffin&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/money.independent.co.uk\/personal_finance\/invest_save\/article2011238.ece\">how to blog your way to fame and fortune<\/a> article was short and sweet, but that&#8217;s  fine &#8211; Rob was a nice guy to chat to and getting so much information into 1500 words is always going to mean that there&#8217;s only room for a small soundbites from the likes of me.  I&#8217;m also a techie, whereas the target audience for the article was a typical consumer who&#8217;s heard about blogging and wants to give it a go.  The original idea was that I might feature in a case study, but in reality I&#8217;m a small-time blogger who can cover his hosting costs and buy the odd gadget with his advertising revenue &#8211; nowhere near the \u00c2\u00a32000 a month that the chosen case study (Craig Munro) says is possible.  In fact, whilst that figure is theoretically possible, most bloggers won&#8217;t get near that sort of income because it would be a full-time task (and someone who can write that much original content could earn more in a proper full-time job).<\/p>\n<p>Computer Weekly&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/Articles\/2006\/11\/24\/220166\/Pretty+interfaces+alone+do+not+make+a+business+case.htm\">pretty interfaces alone do not make a business case<\/a> was slightly disappointing.  I was asked to rewrite two existing blog posts into about 500 words for publishing in Computer Weekly.  After a few hours of unpaid editing and redrafting, I submitted a piece entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/data\/computerweeklysubmission20061121.pdf\">Windows Vista is finally here&#8230; but XP&#8217;s not dead yet<\/a>; however editorial considerations have meant that just over 500 words became just under 300.  I&#8217;ll admit that what was published was much punchier than my original submission, but it inevitably lost some of the background information and slightly distorted the message (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/data\/computerweeklysubmission20061121.pdf\">this is what I actually wrote<\/a>).  Still, at least I got a link back to this blog from a well-respected publisher (which may help to drive traffic to the site &#8211; a cursory glance over my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/04\/why-webstats-are-so-interesting.htm\">web stats<\/a> reveals no evidence of that yet though).<\/p>\n<p>So what should be learnt from this?  Firstly, that bloggers are not journalists (at least most of us aren&#8217;t).  Blogging is a time-consuming creative process that can be fun but is unlikely to make you a fortune.  Secondly, print media is a hard world that takes no prisoners.  If you submit something for publishing, expect the final result to differ from your original creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I wrote about how I was expecting to feature in a couple of upcoming articles for Computer Weekly and The Independent.
