I honestly cannot remember, Dame. It was on the "new and notable" table in Barnes and Noble in Union Square, not that that is much help.

I think that there is actually a small rash of "celebrity" coming from a few blogs, although, like many niche ideas, it's already running its course. The Go Fug Yourself gals, who really don't run a blog per se, have achieved some level of fame from their site, so it's not completely unheard of.

I've just been given some very exciting news from one of my team of webmasters.

Well, I guess I'm just lucky that my personal magnetism has drawn so many people to this bthread of mine. Maybe people who have been blahhhging since, like, early September of last year, should disable the Comment feature so the don't always feel as if they're peering into a can of Noodle-O's.

It depends. Was it a link to his blog accusing you of being "elite?"

No, but it showed me a fascinating new way of increasing my penis size by investing in a bank in Botswana.

Could you forward that to you-know-who? It might resolve an issue or two.

Botswana? I still haven't gotten my 20% back. But then again, I had a rather large investment to begin with. *rimshot*

Comment on that bitches!

"Has anyone ever published a blog into a book?"

It works the other way around: Published authors of multiple books start blogs to keep in touch with a community of readers. Jennifer Weiner communicates with her fans through her blog, as do many romance and sci-fi/fantasy authors.

Amazon.com provides blog space for authors through their Amazon Connects feature.

For a while, agents were sending proposals around for books based on blogs ("This blog gets 50,000 hits every hour!"), but the question was always: Why would anybody buy a blogger's book when they can get it for free? I'm not sure which one you were referring to bway.

Some political bloggers (like Markos Zuniga of DailyKos) have published books successfully, but those books sold to political junkies not fans of blogs.

I think Margo's blog would make a great book, but then again, I trhink Margo should be reviewing for the NY Times.

PalJoey, I will see if I have the energy after the gym tonight to swing by Barnes and Noble as even I do not know to whom I'm referring.
all I know is I saw the book, I picked it up, the blurb on the back mentions she was a blogger who now has a book and is a regular columnist for some newspaper now. But it worked from blog to book to job, not the way you're mentioning.
