Hi: I was speaking from experience of seeing clunky Lotus forced into being a content collection mechanism for an online publication. It was horrible, but was "policy" was due to some dim accountant/techie's initial decision. It didn't relate to the needs of creatives and reporters. So I can envisage a hybrid blog format being far more useful for doing things like quickly collecting, debugging and formatting news/image reports, or aiding the workflow in many creative businesses.

I am new to the internet and I am surfing here and this is so neat. I did a search in the search engines on "a professional blog" and I found your web blog.
I am a chartered accountant in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and thus my interest in searching for "a professional blog" on the WWW.
I just wanted to see how the rest of the world thinks and see what trends and technology are happening in the world. I also was interested in a blog for myself, that is if I figured I could handle the technology of operating a blog. The different things discussed on a website found by searching for "professional blog" in the search engine is very amusing reading.

Respectfully yours
