Publishing a guide to political blogging in 2011 is akin to publishing a guide to succeeding in the oil business in 1897 and asking John D. Rockefeller to write a chapter. The game is up. As I’ve stated before, there’s virtually no way for new voices to rise out of the blogosphere in 2011. Without a very specific skill, good luck trying to find a readership outside of your friends. No one uses blogrolls anymore, everyone reads the same sites, and it’s quite rare for established bloggers to really push new bloggers. Maybe there is a rare exception that proves the rule.

This is very sadly true, though your chances of getting a blogger JOB (with paychecks maybe) at an established organization are obviously better now than when everyone had pseudonymous Blogspot blogs.
