The Everything Blogging Book: by Aliza Sherman Risdahl

The Impact of Blogging

I'm looking for anyone and everyone to offer their two cents about why blogging is so popular and what kind of impact it is having on any aspect of our world (business, personal lives, culture, research, politics, communities, etc.).

This is for sidebars in my book.

Just email a 2-3 sentence quote about the impact of blogging in some area you are familiar with (it can be anything from your profession/industry to your personal life/interests to anything you have observed) along with your name, occupation, location and Blog URL or Web Site URL, if relevant. Those who do not follow directions risk being overlooked.

Email to mediaegg AT hotmail DOT com! Feel free to post here as well.

What Blog Provider Do You Use?

What blog provider do you use and why do you like it?

What is your favorite feature and why?

What other providers have you used before or do you still use?

Post here or email me at mediaegg@hotmail.com (the better way to respond to be quoted in my book).

Blogging Gone Bad

From technical to legal to emotional, anything goes.

Tell me your story and I might be able to include you
in my blogging book.

Email mediaegg@hotmail.com or post here. Make sure

more questions.
