Spring ist finally here! And maybe you have already wondered why you did not receive our March newsletter? Easy question, easy answer: because there wasn’t one. From now on we are going to send you the newsletter at the very beginning of each month!

This month’s trendy BuzzAngel is called Amber. She comes from Scotland and blogs on thefashionpolice.net.

Amber is speaking

- How old are you?
A lady never tells.

- Where do you com from?
Scotland.

- What do you do?
I’m a full time professional blogger, with the odd bit of freelance journalism on the side. I run the Midas Media blog network which publishes TheFashionPolice.net and Hey-Dollface.com

- When did you start blogging?
I’ve been blogging since around 2000: I started way back in the days when blogs were called “online journals” and were all coded by hand!

- Why did you start blogging? What does blogging give you in daily life?
I started blogging because I was working as a newspaper journalist at the time, and blogging seemed like a natural extension of that. What does it give me in daily life? Well, a lot of hard work, for a start, but also the opportunity to make a living writing about things I love, and to meet like-minded people.

- Do you remember your first blog post?
Sadly, no – it was too long ago!

- Are you rather a «twitter» or a «powncer»?
I’m embarrassed to admit that I haven’t actually heard of powncer, so I guess it would have to be Twitter!

- Twitter, Facebook, blogs, buzz, web 2.0… What do you think of all this? How do you see the evolution of the web?
The proliferation of social networking sites makes me feel a little stressed, to be honest, because there’s so many of them and so little time! As for the evolution of the web, well, I’m constantly surprised and delighted by the things people come up with, so I’m looking forward to finding out where it’ll go next.
