I've been a professional (read: paid) writer for a LOT longer than I've been a blogger. It is pretty insulting to receive all the pitches I get where some PR person who doesn't bother to know me expects me to do something for free -- because there are others who are doing it. At last year's Type-A Mom conference, there was a huge discussion about this, with the following discussion -- Is it OK to blog for cupcakes? Many participants were perfectly happy doing that, and that made me sad and mad.
