You have to have an intellectual position that is worth promoting! Great point, Jesse — blogging doesn’t make you a thought leader any more than purchasing Photoshop will make you a graphic designer.

One point I would like to add that I didn't see in the article is that blogging is not a silver bullet. Blogging is a tool - not a strategy. You still need to define your overall message and target your market otherwise you'll be spinning your tires and not going anywhere. I have seen businesses built around blogging and I have seen traditional brick and mortar business 'adapt' blogging. On both sides the ones who succeed are the ones who understand that blogging needs to be a part of an overall plan, not the plan itself. Wow… this is a great comprehensive article.
