So, you want to be a blogger huh?

Do you know what you're getting yourself into?

While I was looking around at stuff on small businesses I came across something that meshed my passions together, an article on blogging by a small business trends writer. Anita Campbell, of Small Business Trends, has an article up over at the OPEN Forum that points out the chaotic mess that is blogging - particularly with the spotlight that has been directed on blogging with the clash this week between the Associated Press and the entire blogopshere as a whole.

In her article, This Blogging Stuff is Harder Than it Looks, Campbell takes a look at what a person needs to be skilled in to even consider the life of a blogger. It might seem like a glamorous lifestyle, sitting around in your jammies typing away about the lives of movie stars and the fashion industry, but bloggers have a hard job and need to be multi-skilled people just to keep their work going day to day. And that's before they attract attention that might leave them on the defending end of a lawsuit.

Yes, it's true, blogging is indeed harder than it looks.
