		<description>Very informative post. I agree with that you have to connect. You definately have to build relationships in order to be seen. Also, refer others to what you have seen and read. Other wise your website or blog will not gain the exposure you need for your business.</description>

Great points... one of the reasons why we integrated a Blog Directory into our Social Network - Fast Pitch (http://www.fastpitchnetworking.com) - to facilitate this type of activity.

Networking and Blogging are a natural pair

		<description>you make some good points Josh. 

particularly : 
* You have to convey a passion in your writing
* You have to be opinionated

if you arent interested in the topic your blogging about then you shouldnt be blogging about it.

I do believe you have to voice your opinion - it doesnt mean being negative or offensive towards people or other blogs and it doesnt mean you have to disagree with other bloggers either.

I believe its straight forward. If you are discussing a post on another blog for example and you agree with what they said, then agree. if you dont, then disagree. Apply this philisopy to all your posts and your jamming :)

i do believe that a lot of bloggers out there hold back when blogging and dont give their 100% honest opinion as theyre scared that if they rock the boat it will have a negative effect on their blog. 

again, good post :)</description>
