Blogging is Dying

But wait, people still write them and read them! Yes, Virgina that is true. Some do. But of the past 6 blogs I have read by syndicated or semi-professional writers, 4 of them were not actually well thought out articles of pith or merit, they were a paragraph and a link to a video, not even one of their own - so they do not qualify as Vblogs. So for all you entrepreneurs looking to get rich of your blogs, for all of you branding experts that say nothing new or of interest but just bandy around the buzz word of the day and rehash another blogger's words. For those of you who have muddied the waters of coherent thought, new ideas and opinion with your me too or empty prose to get public attention - you can stop now.

Professional Editing

At a friend's request I started the Dresden series by Jim Butcher. I recommend it and am addicted However I could not help but notice that the editing in the paperback editions at least is atrocious. There are typos, misspellings, and just poor sentence structure all over. Is this the result of poor editing, of leaving it all to word processors or poor typesetting; if that is is even done anymore?
