I’m tired of reading about crap that people don’t put into practice. I know too much about what goes on behind the blogging scene.
Bloggers don’t often practice what they preach.
The blog acts as a long, long presentation—as long as a potential client wants it to be, really—with absolutely no pressure, since folks can just lurk for months if they’d like. The calls we get are from folks who’ve already sold themselves.
A blog isn’t a business any more than a building is a company.

Good collection of comments, Michael. Yes. That’s all I’ll say.
Seems like valid criticism. To me at least.
I heartily agree with Liz Strauss. A blog is to business what a dictionary is to a poet: they are only tools that can both work wonders in the right hands.
I have Photoshop, but I could not create the sort of graphics possible if in the hands of a designer.
I have a car, but it only gets me to the corner grocer — unless I’m a professional driver.
I have a camera and some great scenery, but I’m not Ansel Adams.
A blog is just another bit of technological fluff, unless you have something to say and know how to present it.
Always love your Overheard in the blogosphere posts. What was Harrison talking about when he made his statement? Do you know?
@ Cyndee – You’ll just have to click through to read it in context!
Touche – you got me! Off to read it now
Michael,
I always love the Overheards-thanks for including me!
Liz’s statement just killed me when I first read it. So, so true, and so misunderstood.
Regards,
Kelly
