Firstly, welcome to my 100th BlogLines RSS subscriber – nice to have you on board, along with the original 99 of course!
Many people who read blogs are actually bloggers themselves, which means that many people who read this are (de facto) bloggers! In fact, if you read this and aren’t a blogger, drop me a comment below.
Based on that logic, I loved this comment on Business Blog Consulting via BigBlogCompany
A corporate blog is just like a personal blog, except you donÌt get to use the word “motherfucker.”

On another blogging topic, there’s a nice article on how to get blogging on Simon’s World, which is great for newbies and more established bloggers alike. Scoble, you can stop reading now 
Simon gives the 50 rules of blogging, some quirky, some sad, but all true in my experience. I especially liked Rule 14
14. There are some good ways to attract attention to yourself and your blog. These can be broken down into the following:
a) talk about your sexual experiences a lot. This works far better for women than men.
b) have something interesting and new to say. This works far better for those that understand the basics of English grammar.
c) quirky slice-of-life types who are actually quirky. This works far better for those that are interesting people in real life.
d) humour sites. This works far better for those that are funny.
e) niche sites. There may well be a strong readership for those interested in mountain goats. It helps if you talk about stuff you know about.
f) be an iconoclast. If you are controversial you are likely to generate debate and people will come back for another look. The important thing is to be coherent and have a rational body of thought rather than a series of random pronouncements.
And when preparing a list (like 50 things about blogging), rule 49 is useful too.
49. So sometimes a list needs padding to make it to a nice round number.
Seriously, it’s worth checking out.
