I think blogs are beginning to be blurred into the regular web. For example, I use wordpress for everything, but I do not call it a blog. Why? I don't sit there and write about my family, friends etc. No, the blog is simply becoming another delivery method among a bunch of others. I prefer the format because it allows me to track everything. Try seeing who linked to an article of yours using a standard MS Frontpage Template. Won't happen (unless you have some sort of plugin that allows you to do it). I think another problem with the blogosphere is that we all know what is hot. We get on Technorati, Youtube etc and see what is going on, and we too write about it. Why? It's natural. Why write about corn when the current topic is potatoes?

Getting known outside the sound box of the blog world is the only way to develop your image as a writer and author, not just another blogger -- of whom there are now 200 million worldwide and rising. If your material is good enough, it will take off. I've found articles about bloggers in the London Times, on the BBC and in lots of unexpected places. They're usually very savvy characters, though, who would succeed in any genre or medium. I agree with Lorelle.

Sometimes I think we rely too much upon only a few sources to spread our news. I think it's a good idea to reach away from the normal resources and spread the word outside our field. This helps us connect with a wider audience and helps us, in turn, stand out in the crowd. It's hard work, but every bit can count when your life depends upon your blog.

With the advent of services such as Technorati, a lot of bloggers think that these tools will suffice. Sure, it is an excellent supplement, but why not go out and get them the old fashion way. It puts a personality behind the 'trademark' and sets you aside from the mass-flux of the blogger bell-curve hump (the big mass at the bottom of the pile). Even Johnny Depp was an unknown once upon a time (He was in Nightmare on Elm Street a looooonnnngggg time ago) I think a lot of people forget about the actual blood sweat and tears that go into promoting/marketing.
