Ed Cone says, "Real bloggers read blogs." I do do that and often post comments too. Sometimes others' blogs provoke/inspire my own posts, in which case I reference them. So, as far as I can tell, I should be a "real blogger."

As I've become familiar with the blogosphere, however, I've come to suspect that there's a secret resource that real bloggers have access to, which is necessary to qualify as one: Time. Forget the Enrons and the WorldComs and the Halliburtons, these blogger elites seem to have found a way to stuff their time coffers by depleting the meagre reserves of ordinary bloggers like me. I don't want to be ordinary anymore, which is why I so wanted to go to the recent BloggerCon and learn from the heavyweights how to maximize the accumulation of blogging time but, alas, like money, one also needs time to make time.

Well, that's all I have time for today. Someday I'll be a real blogger like je_apostrophe of makeoutcity.com, who reads and blogs like I can only dream of doing.
