"  There was a time not long ago that people dismissed bloggers. &amp;quot;Can&amp;#039;t take them seriously.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s just a hobby.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re not real journalists.&amp;quot; Hey, people still do it today, but let them scoff. Today, a few bloggers got their due on Martha Stewart&amp;#039;s talk show, as the entire episode was devoted to blogs and bloggers. Her guests, all bloggers themselves, cover a variety of topics, from Perez Hilton&amp;#039;s popular celebrity blog (you can catch his segment here), Margaret Roach and her gardens, and Cute Overload, right down to Matt Armendariz of Matt Bites, my own personal favorite of the bloggers featured. As if having bloggers on her show wasn&amp;#039;t enough, Martha went one step further, filling her entire audience with bloggers, many of whom had their laptops out and were actually live-blogging during the taping. Seriously, how cool is that? If you didn&amp;#039;t get a chance to see the episode, Sarah Caron from Mad About Martha live-blogged about it right here. If you haven&amp;#039;t discovered food blogger Matt Armendariz&amp;#039;s site yet, it is truly worth a visit. His photography is stunning, one photo more drool-worthy than the next. He was side-by-side today with Martha herself, sharing and making his own recipe for Alfajores. If he was nervous, he definitely didn&amp;#039;t show it, making jokes and conversation quite effortlessly. During the segment with Matt, Martha shared that she&amp;#039;s already hard at work on her next cookbook; this time, it&amp;#039;s devoted to cupcakes. She certainly doesn&amp;#039;t waste any time. Her newest title, Martha Stewart&amp;#039;s Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook, is being released at the end of next month. Don&amp;#039;t think that Martha is missing the boat herself on the whole blogging phenom. Her very own blog can be found right here, including her tips on blogging. Go Martha!
