I have the same exact questions. Also, how can "keywords" be added to the tbd profile?

Welcome everybody. We're off to a good start. LanSr, I can't think of a better way to get going than just take your questions and turn them into a thread.

I'm not sure what you mean. Unless our TBD profiles are spidered by search engines, keywords aren't really of any use.

'In the begining' Whenever that is, the term blog simply meant a Web Log, as in 'What I had for Breakfast' that sort of thing, a personal journal, along those lines.

That was then. This is now. And the term blog covers a lot of territory. For one thing, it's a phenomenon. Even the big boys are getting nervous now.

The thin grey lines between Web Sites, Blogs, vLogs, eMail and all things digital are blurred and blurring beyond recognition.

In my case for example, I use Six Apart's Typepad for my blog, therefore it comes with a Web Site, whatever a Web site is these days [ See Paragraph One ].

Thus it costs me about $ 149.00 per year for virtually unlimited bandwidth. In theory, I'm a professional- At least I will be just as soon as anyone writes me a check <Grin>.

Now as to the last question- And it's of critical importance-

" Do people really make money with blogs, and if so, how?"

What is the best way on TeeBeeDee to address that? Any suggestions?

Good question. I'll start a thread for that.

Yes, people really do make money from blogs. Some of them make very big money. I don't think I can aspire to triple digit figures since all my blogging is in niches that aren't exactly "hot."
