i don't believe you -
Nor do I. -
Why do you need to point out your age? Why is that relevant?-
Well, i know it's not relevant. But i've been recieving So many shouts from my shoutbox saying "WOW! I can't belive you 12" and stuff. Thats really nice of you guys, but i just want to ask IF u didn't know i was 12, would the blog still be so nice? Or would it just be average?

Your age would not be a factor for me in judging a blog, it would stand or fail on it's own merit or lack thereof. The age of a blogger is the least interest or concern.

Very very nice, blog. How old are you, by the way? -
Age is not important for anything. I've met 12 year olds who had more brains in their head than an average 18 year old. Everyone is different that way and if you are 12 then you act old for your age I guess. The way your posts are written don't seem to be written by a 12 year old so in that sense you're doing a good job.
If you want me to disregard your age then I'd have to say that your blog is just another fan blog like so many others out there. Hosted at blogspot, throwing in a Youtube clip here and there, snatching some news from other fansites and posting it on your own. Its a fun hobby blog but there's nothing really professional about it in any way.
My number one advice would be not to copy news, but instead read the news and comment on it. No one wants to have yet another blog that repeats what 100 others have already done before you. A blog is only interesting because it's unique. Copying content, especially concerning celebrities, is a huge waste of time because anything you post, everyone will already have read from the same source you got it.
Having said that, I think that for a 12 year old you have a nice ambition of actually achieving something and that's very healthy. I remember I started my first website when I was 10 or something and it was a major flop. I doubt anyone saw it even but it was a nice hobby project. Now I'm 21 and I've learned a lot about building and maintaining websites and now I have my own blog with my own content. It's still growing but it's getting more viewers than the website I had 11 years ago ;).
Just keep doing your thing, even if it doesn't attract a lot of people. The experience you get from it is worth something and the fact that you're not afraid to ask questions is a good habit. Keep up the good work!

Wow! I'm ... Speechless. Right after reading your comment I decided to hunt for news for my blog by myself. I've ransacked the newspapers and stuff today
thanks -
Just to be clear, I didn't mean you should hunt for your own news (good luck hiding in Britney's trash). You can use news you find in papers and on the internet but you should make your own story out of the event.
For example you can copy and paste that article of Britney losing her shoe on your website. But you can also write a post about the stupidity of Britney losing her shoe and what YOU as a fan think about that. -
Yes, human brain is in the process of forming neural network in the teenager years.
A lot of people have their brains infiltrated by fats and pus from daily consumption of fries and chips. -
Copy and paste is only good with press releases. If you copy and paste the work of someone else you can get in legal trouble. finding Britney Spears would be tough to do but it is doable if you want to go for the journalistic aspect. -
The only way around it would be to got to www.britneyspears.com/ or
twitter.com/britneyspears even if it's run by an assistant eventually you'll get an answer. You have to keep writing and tweeting though. You need to be persistant if you are going that route.
