If somebody had challenged me to write a blog post teaching journalists about online by using an American Idol contestant, I don’t think I would have even tried.

Shawn Smith just wrote a great post. He’s spot-on with his advice.

And if you didn’t watch Idol this week, you missed what may be the best performance in the entire series (rivaling  Fantasia’s “Summertime“)

While I’m on an Idol post — Amanda, the female Elvis, the female singer Lisa Marie wishes she could be, should not have been voted off last week.
