Hey everyone --

I'm trying to find some blogging gigs to do on the side of my regular job. Anyone have any hints? Any good sites?

It would be good to know more about your areas of interest/expertise (blogging's just like print work in that way.)

Hi -- I'm leaning more toward relationship-type blogs. I was actually thinking of starting my own. I figure that's the way the media is going so I better hop on the train.

Thanks!

I think people get too enamored of blogging as some unusual thing. The professional media blogs I see really aren't that much different than traditional reporting. The bloggers conduct interviews and gather information, with a little spin of their own spin and perspective. Most personal blogs I see are very light on providing original information. They tend to take some news event or report they've found online and put their own perspective and personality on it.

Dribble's right, a professional blog still uses journalism basics with a little more emphasis on voice. That being said, Problogger is a good place to find blogging jobs.
