Professional Bloggers Take Ownership of Blogs
I was talking to one of my professional bloggers about a project she was working on, and she mentioned matter of fact:
"It is hard for me not to get a sense of ‘ownership’ about my blogs."
Her statement showed me that she carried with her a sense of pride about her work and about her blogging. She doesn’t own the blog, but does provide her expertise in professionally blogging for the site. Not every person can claim this about the people working with them. Many people show up for work each day only to dream of the quitting time whistle. This made me proud of her for her stance, but then I thought about it, and all of the bloggers I know have this sense of ownership about their work. Blogging is of course a narcissistic endeavor to begin with, as we all want to see our name in lights or in print so to speak. We do take pride in being the best in whatever niche, be it knitting blogs, or mommy blogs, or even if we are talking about widgets. We want to be the best and most authoritative blog available, and this is the nature of the blogging beast. Yes, I am still proud of my blogger, she is a star player, and the company that she provides her service to is lucky to have her sense of ownership.
