Good for you Kate getting so much online writing work! I think you are a  
pioneer in that respect.

This last kind of blog writing you mentioned though rubs me the wrong way  -- 
something about a ghost-written personal blog is just not ethically cool with 
 me as a reader and blog poster. Hiring someone else to write your own blog  
supposedly coming from your voice is deceptive and kinda creepy, IMHO. If  you 
found out that a blog you were following by A was written by D, how would  
you react? What do others think on this?
