So I think the key is to really set your priorities and stick to them. Easier said than done, I know! Liz,

I know that I find that it's really a trade off of one set of freedoms for another. Some days I tell my husband that I have to get a company job so that I won't have to work so hard. At home there's no socializing by the water cooler . . . there's not that 2 hours a day statistics say we spend talking about non-work things. There's not even that time transitioning during the commute between home and work. :) There is, even for as many contacts and as many years as I've made my living this way, tt thought at the back of the mind that says, "I know I have enough on my plate, but maybe I should take this too, because who know when a dry spell will come."

Another part of blogosphere that's really growing is the ones who blog about trying to make a living online and enjoying the freedom that comes from it. I'm very interested in that subculture and being a part of it, I also think blogs serve as a tool to share the knowledge and help others. Hi Liz,

As you, Martin, and I have been saying over the weekend, a big part of success is keeping the dialogue open and growing throughout the blogosphere. That's why I get so excited when folks take something home to their readers. The more we all know, the more the blogospher works for all of us. Thanks again. PS you really are an SOB. :) Liz Hi Hock,

You are absolutely right about what makes a blog successful - the interaction with the readers. Without that we're basically blogging into thin air :-) Hock,
