(What is it about the number 7? Apparently, 10 items is too many and with 5 we feel cheated. So I’ve found a happy medium with 7 and a half in this list.)
I am not going to name names, but when surfing blogs there are some things that make my cursor head straight for the […]

This morning an interesting article from BusinessWeek is making its way up the Digg rankings: How Top Bloggers Earn Their Money.
In summary: personality, originality and traffic.
From a journalistic perspective I would give the article about 6/10 though since some of the bloggers clearly weren’t approached for an interview.
Here are some quotes I found interesting:

Problogger has just announced an unofficial writing project called Rediscovering Your Blog Groove, a gentle push to pull our socks up and have fun blogging again.
