morganist, Good luck with the blog! I've been blogging since last September. I have a new appreciation for bloggers that post several times a day, every day. It's not easy.
Because; 1.) It personalises the name. 2.) It provides me the option to make money. 3.) It looks like I am more professional if I have my own blog. Because you need skills to run one. 4.) It is good for employment prospects.
it is good for employment prospects. ------------------------------------------------------ So, does that mean your an unemployed economist? or freelancer?
