Turning a Blog into a Job

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

Kudos to Chad Finn

He's turned his Touching All the Bases blog into a paying gig with Boston.com

Finn is a very interesting guy who found an audience on the Internet. Congrats to Chad Finn. I'm glad he's getting a bigger audience. His writing and wit deserve it.

He's doing a copycat of you of sorts, following in the steps of your short stint as a columnist with the NY Post, right?

Maybe now other people will get the idea to make a living writing a blog.

Now everyone is going to want to have their own blog!

Of course, he's also a career journalist and a full-time desker on the Globe, so this isn't exactly as though the Globe has hired some random blogger out of the blue.

What's a blog?

Is that similar to "what is post padding?"
