This is from seven years ago, but it's still fine, succinct tutorial on what blogging is in its essence: the power of the media in our hands.  In fact, developments over the past 10 years has put (a) more tools at our disposal to create content, (b) more avenues (i.e. media) to publicize that content, and (c) more buzz in general for others to find our content.  To me, and I imagine to you, too, these are remarkable, exciting developments indeed.
