Looks like there's not much that bloggers can't do. I'm not talking about writing skills either - Blog Cabin is a new reality TV show that is just going on air. It documents the building of a log cabin in the Smokey Mountains with guidance from bloggers, contributing a DIY Network weblog over the course of several months.
From roof style to window selection to fireplace, bloggers logged over 4 million suggestions and votes during the Blog Cabin project. They are planning now for Blog Cabin 2008
This could be a great project fro some enterprising TV company to do here - imagine how it would get blogging going!

Top 7 Blog Mistakes to Avoid
David Airey is a graphic designer and a great blogger with plenty to say. You can find out everything from great blog designs to building trust online to what makes a great logo or what does your website say about you.
But I decides to focus on The Psychology of Blog Publishing. I never know how many posts I should post. I can never predict what will be popular or not; I don't know how accurate the stats are - I check at three sites and they all seem different to me. And I truly don't know why it is that important for me that anyone is reading my blog.
Top 7 Blog mistakes to avoid depresses me from the get go - yes, I strike out at Mistake number one. I'm a pleb - I just have a common old Blogger blog, with a Blogger address and no customization - I really though it was the contents that counted, but what do I know?
But it's a pretty good article, worth reading - all this guys stories are.

Age of Conversation - A Marketing Book by Bloggers
THE AGE OF CONVERSATION -- Edited by Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton
When Is a Blog Not a Blog? When It's a Book.
Three months ago, agency execs Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton agreed to add "publisher" to their resumes. Having struck a deal with 103 authors eager to lend their two cents about today's marketing-communications landscape, the boys feverishly compiled essays, baited a vendor and hooked a PR firm to rep the title.On Monday, the book will be released in three formats: e-book, paperback and hardcover. Its editors won't be raising a glass together anytime soon, however. You see, David, who hails from Des Moines, and Gavin, based in Sydney, have never met. In fact, with the exception of a single, garbled Skype exchange, they've never even spoken.

Social Networking on the African Continent
Social networking on the African continent is certainly taking off.
I found this interesting post on the White African blog about African (outside South Africa) social networking sites. One of the responses was from Global Voices online - the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
(This is not much of a blog post, just a few links so that I'll know where to find them, when I want to do a REAL story.)
