Frank has a very good post entitled What does a “blogger” look like? He also adds a Norman Rockwell painting. Just the right touch.
This painting is what a “blogger” looks like. We are just people, average joes( and josephines), having our say on the affairs of the world without fear from neighbors or our government. The only difference between ourselves and the man in the painting is that the method for speaking our minds has moved from the cold wooden walls of the Elks Lodge to the cold wiring of the internet.
I had been thinking of the internet as a library, with bloggers acting as librarians. A librarian can direct a researcher to all kinds of information they never knew existed, and bloggers often perform the same function. Yet Frank’s analogy is probably far more apt.
