I have to admit blogging helps me keep up with what is happening in my profession as I research the topics I blog about. Which also helps me with my studies. I will take a look at BUMPzee. Andrew and Ric,

And like Ric, I would ask you to keep writing too :) Your numbers are better than mine were for the same time into the blog project - it does get better with time, trust me :) Have you thought about joining a community like Australian Blogs over at BUMPzee? It helps to have other people to talk blogging with who aren't, well, already famous like Steve :) Cheers, Andrew Hi Alli,

As more and more of our productivity comes from mental rather than physical work, the more it matters WHAT people do with their "work" time, rather than when and where they spend it. BTW - keep writing Alli - blogging isn't about "instant" gratification, it's about building a thought community ... and it can be slow (even if Stephen is a bit of a rock star...)
