And if so how can I make money out of it? The only money I've been offered so far is to close it down. :-) Do the idle ramblings and observations on the vageries of life in my Livejournal count as a blog?

(Whichever Top 500 that might be...?!) Want me to have a word with them? (Whoever "they" might be? ;-) ) Ryan: Thanks for the kind words. :-) This blog is very new (at least, I've only given it any real attention very recently) and I'm still exploring the possibilities. I've looked at the <a href="http://9rules.com" rel="nofollow">9rules</a> network (and I know there are also others) and am convinced there is room for innovation and niches to be exploited (in a marketing sense, that is). It's a matter of figuring out exactly what will work in my own, and perhaps also my colleagues', circumstances. (It's not something I need to do alone, in fact would prefer it to be a group effort for many reasons.) Yes, blogs are proven to work as marketing tools for businesses, including the fresher content making Google happier, but I've been reading <a href="http://www.problogger.net" rel="nofollow">ProBlogger</a> and <a href="http://www.blogherald.com" rel="nofollow">The Blog Herald</a> which frequently link to other quality blogs, and believe there can be a lot more to it...

I'm drawing particular attention to your comments about Google talk. Lots of otherpeoples blogs have just jumped on the hype band-wagon but not you, you've actually thought about it and I respect that. I'm interested by your comments about blogs and them helping you make money. Are you speaking along the lines of greater promotion and the benefits it may have for your business in raising your profile, locally, nationally, internationally? I'd love to hear your thoughts as I'm considerinig the whole blog thing but I'm wondering who would read it and why.
