While I sit here waiting for Verizon to install triple play, I was thinking, when did blogging become respectable?
I mean, in the past, maybe when I first started, I was a bit embarrassed to say, I blog. I use to say, I write in a very specific niche, on a specific topic. But now, I proudly say, I blog about a niche topic.
I can't remember when I stopped saying, "I write," and began saying, "I blog." But it did happen at some point.
Blogging use to be consider child's play, a diary, a game. But now, blogs can be just as authoritative, or more, than an industry news site. That message has really been learned and understood over the course of the years and I am happy to have been part of that.
Of course, this blog, is just fun and games. :)

Blogging became respectable when respectable people like you started doing it, Barry.

Long time no speak, hope all is well.
I kinda do miss the old days...

I too remember when it was laughable to own a blog. Now it's absolutely respectable as valuable folks are sharing information. The day of the blog is certainly better the day without.
