I admit right now that I have not read every sentence of the above posts, as doing so would carry me well into February, so if this has been mentioned, great - I'll reinforce it. If it hasn't, great - I'll introduce it.
A side-benefit of blogging is the RSS/syndication factor.
To wit: When Adam at HauntedIllinois.com posts to his MySpace blog, his post is picked up at http://www.chicagohorror.com - the front page of which is wired into the blogs and feeds for around 20 different Chicago-area and Chicago-related horror, haunted house, Halloween, gothic, etc. websites and companies.
This increases exposure for blog posts, and lets ChicagoHorror.com have up-to-the-minute content without the need for me to hunt it down and post it myself (something I simply don't have time to do).
The benefits of something like this should be painfully self-evident. I first tried this with EverythingSinister.com starting about this time last year, and that site does amazing traffic now - it's my home page and the first thing I read every day, because there's NO delay between the time the various posters post and the site picks up the feeds.
Something to think about.
