I’d like to formally welcome Michael Urie to the world of blogging. Yes, the Ugly Betty star has a blog! This is a wonderful development.
Urie has been tweaking the blog a little bit (right now he has a purple-ish theme that seems to work pretty well). He’s put some work into it; although his first post was only on January 6, already the sidebars are a nifty resource. It’s pretty cool to have links to Mode After Hours and the podcasts right there, instead of having to navigate through 3 or 4 layers of the ABC website.
He’s even linked to the post by yours truly about the Monte Carlo Television Festival in the “Press” section. Woot.
This is a fascinating time. Stars are on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and some have their own blogs. We can hear what they have to say, unfiltered. I would imagine Prozac sales to publicists are through the roof.
Even networks create semi-faux websites to promote their shows, such as ModeNy.com. The old rules have changed.
Word of warning, Michael – once it’s “out there”, it’s out there. Always save your posts as drafts, and have a drink before hitting “publish” :) . Don’t ask me how I know…
I’m looking forward to hearing from Michael. Post Away!

By BFF, she’s talking about David Blue (a.k.a. Cliff). (See new post by Tom.)
