If I want to start blogging with the future possibility of turning the blog into a book, which site (wordpress.com, salon.com, blogspot.com, etc.) would you recommend that I go with?

My primary concern is that I don’t inadvertently give up my copyright. Obviously, the T&C spell it all out, however I’m wondering if there are some service providers that are a bit more lax in claiming publication right to my content.

Why is everything a brand? Or for sale? Are we all the bastard children of people like Edward Bernays and Ivy Lee? Is management our new religion? Taylorism as spiritual mantra. If everybody writes books, and thinks they have something important to say, then who will do the listening? Just waiting for the book about how there are too many books. Alas, it has probably already been written…

My main goal is to one day convert my online content to book form. The comic industry is changing due to the web — and “web to print” is now becoming a more viable option for indie artists like myself. Thanks for the post! — Sean

Great post, Monica! I’m thinking about doing this with a blog I did back in 2006 and 2007 on a non-business topc. Really good suggestions. Beverly Macy

Nice post. My blog is about my life as a SAHD and my failings in my professional career. I’ve given a lot of thought to writing a book and have started noodling some ideas. I signed up for your writing series when you twittered about it yesterday. Looking forward to gleaning more information from it. Thx, pj
