Please bear with me…

I am trying to fix some look & feel issues, so there may not be more posts for a few days.  This DIY stuff takes time!

Blogging as a career

Interesting article in today’s SF Chronicle about how blogging has emerged as a possible career for some savvy entrepreneurs.

More and more journalists are getting into blogging, particularly as newspapers downsize. But it’s also interesting to me that more and more journalists in “traditional media” are starting blogs that supplement their print/broadcast work.

As a journalist, I think it’s important for me to familiarize myself with the process of blogging. I’m a bit of a johnny-come-lately to the blogging party, but it seems latecomers are still welcome. This blog is in fact part of my career development, so let the roller-coaster ride begin.

Getting my feet wet

This is me virtually dipping my toes into the world of blogging.  My name is Tom Musbach, and I am the managing editor of Yahoo! HotJobs.

This blog is a chance to expand my coverage of the career beat, and I hope to add notes, highlight trends and advice, and share views. The topic is broad, and this will be an adventure.
