One of the greatest things about hosting websites is that you get to feel like you’re part of a global production line of literacy. There are so many websites out there, some good some bad and just some that are “wierd”. It’s just fun being a part of it, especially when we’re able to help it become the best it can be.
One of our newer clients has an American Idol Blog that we’ve had a hard time resisting. Idol Blog Live is run by Slimtainment.com and from all we’ve heard, seen and read, it’s the definitive blog for American Idol fans. Especially with Season 7 rolling around, they’re starting to heat up.
Some of the support guys here catch up on their American Idol news when they’re eating their lunch at midnight. And truth be told, it’s one of the better blogs we’ve seen out there.
The best thing about IdolBlogLive.com is that the blog gets updated daily and oftentimes, it’s updated several times a day. You all know those blogs that get updated only once a year right? Well this isn’t one of them. Sometimes the news gets updated on the site even before it appears on some of the major news outlets.
Features of Idol Blog Live
- Constant American Idol News and Updates
- American Idol Season 7 Spoilers and Galleries
- Live Blog feeds during the American Idol airings on National TV
- Lively Chatroom and Forums
- Large Picture Gallery of American Idol Seasons 1-7

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe this. How absolutely amazing this was to see when I stopped by the blog on my way to bed tonight. I was in awe to see this wonderful post about my blog.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this. I still can’t believe it. This by far has been the best review of my blog ever, not to mention the best hosting company I have ever had.
