Top 10 lists, for example, snappy headlines, visit other blogs and leave comments, etc. For some blogs, those tricks are a natural extension of the content. For others, they are awkwardly tacked on. After a period of laying low, I'm actually trying to be a bit more self-promotional these days. Hey, I write about public relations, so self-promotion is a natural extension...

I say that simply because some of those people become media celebs, have book deals, and their appointment books get so filled with so many other tasks that they cease to focus on their blogs, and work on the things which thrust them into the spotlight and create revenue streams in other avenues. I used Hugh Hewitt as a prime example. He is a small exception to the norm of a daily blogger down in the rank and file, but, you notice that his situation is not unique to the "A-Listers". Not to say there is anything wrong with capitalizing on fame, but when do you cease to be a blogger at that point and cross over to MSM Journalist? I think it’s also important to note that at some point, a blogger who becomes an “A-Lister” ceases to be a blogger.
