Gary Vaynerchuk's keynote at BlogWorld & New Media Expo just over a week ago had us all totally engaged - what a force of nature! @BL Fun definitely. Whenever I am finding it a stretch to write a post I try to remember to stop and remind myself that if I'm not enjoying it I'm not doing it right. Like life, I suppose :). @Gavin

@BL Fun definitely. Whenever I am finding it a stretch to write a post I try to remember to stop and remind myself that if I’m not enjoying it I’m not doing it right. Like life, I suppose :) .

Blogging, above all else, is fun, and that should really have been reason Number Ten. THanks for the shout out!

There are a good half dozen or so younger marketing/advertising people here in Australia who are doing exactly that -- using their blogs to promote and position their expertise. Gary Vaynerchuck is a great example. And about a month or so ago, he encouraged all his viewers to find their passion, grab a webcam, and share their thoughts with the world. The challenge for most of us is to stay "on topic" and therefore relevant to our audience. I agree about blogging being a way of demonstrating and accelerating awareness within an industry.
