Robert Scoble has switched his Link Blog over to use WordPress and he is full of praise!

Now if that’s not a major endorsement…

The Pro-Bloggers Association has put out an open invitation for serious bloggers to join:

A new and exciting group of bloggers dedicated to the challenges and opportunities facing this new, growing path of writing and consulting: business blogging, marketing blogging, and consulting on blog development.

An organization that is working to get the development and writing of blogs the professional recognition and respect it deserves.

An international organization of professional bloggers and consultants who are committed to developing ethical standards for this growing career opportunity.
