Gardening Blogs In Newspapers

**Jeff Ball j*@usol.com**

There are two garden bloggers living in the Houston area that have  
been signed up by the Houston Chronicle to do a garden blog for  
them.  They have done six posts so far at http://blogs.chron.com/ 
greenspace/ .  It is an impressive blog.  I'm trying to find out from  
them what their deal is.  I'm assuming they don't get paid for  
writing the blog, but do they get any percentage from the ads on  
their blog?  In one of their blogs they list the plants in one of  
their gardens.  Each plant name is linked to an Internet source to  
buy that plant. Who pays for that link?

Does anyone on the list know of any other garden blogs attached to  
newspapers?  Our Detroit News is adding blogs every week and we have  
inquired about the deal and asked if they were interested.  If it is  
one of the deals where "you do it free, but you can promote your  
books"; thank you very much I don't think so.
Still it is an interesting development.
