Thought provoking post, Steven. This way of looking at things brings out some dimensions that most of us don’t pay attention to.

I sphunn it, and think it is good as a "Blogging for business 101" type of article.But I will say these 8 points are general and pretty basic.  Just consider them a starting point, not a true roadmap for how to turn your blog into a meaningful revenue-generator.
