Quote from Shelf Awareness that hit home to me on the purpose and meaning of blogging today...
"Printing was as revolutionary as the Internet is now when Dürer created hisMelencolia I, and it too had victims. Those medieval scriptoria were doomed, and those who clung to the handwritten and painted word would be eclipsed.
Critics of today's new communications see the aggression of bloggers as a vice of the digital age, but what about the aggression unleashed by the printing press? The resources of new technology that let Dürer create Melencolia I were soon being exploited to create vicious religious prints portraying the Pope as antichrist. The printing press democratized knowledge, and with democracy came spite, libel, destruction and violence. But it also brought a new beauty into the world, and every book that has ever been published, every sheet of a newspaper blown along the street, is part of that beauty."--Jonathan Jones in the Guardian's On Art blog.
Take a peak at the new blogging studio...Martha Stewart has always known how to make things look so good. She converted a barn on her property into a to die for blogging studio.

Yet, blogging isn't about million dollar investments and that's the primary point. All one needs is a smart phone or a laptop in order to blog. Well...bloggers also need an opinion, but that seems to be high in supply!
