You know we're always up for telling you about hot new trends, but lately we've noticed one that is a little out of the ordinary. Local bloggers have taken to having a friend or fellow blogger "cover" for them while they're out on vacation. Is this, like, necessary? Presumably, we go to our favorite blogs because we love the voice and opinions on the blogger writing it. Is it okay for bloggers to just take some downtime with their down time, or do they need to call for backup any time they leave their laptops? You tell us.
