So you want to be a Rock & Roll star starts the famous song originally done by the Byrds. That song gave a big shot in the arm to the electric guitar manufacturing industry, that's for sure. Maybe you won't get a chance to play with Elvis or the again, maybe you will. (By the way, that's me with the big grin and the tie dye tee shirt next to the King.)
Now that I've got your attention, let's talk about you being the star. Through an organization named Moguling.com, you can be the star of your own news blog by becoming an iReporter™. What is an iReporter™, you may ask? Well, it's pretty much anything you want to be, but the key word here is reporter.
You can start a free blog at Moguling.com and you can be in charge of the content. You can embed videos or your own live webcast. You can host a live chat or a web event. You can report the news that you see fit to report and at a depth you choose. You can even syndicate your news and sell advertising if you like. It's your site so you call the shots.
