One of the popular thoughts is that “ small is the new big .” Although many respected blogging experts say it, is it really true that small niche blogging can be wildly successful and profitable? A few quotes to think about:
That is the great thing about niche startups; no market can ever be too small.
…niche blogging is the way to go.
we’re not interested in the hits, we’re interested in the best niche content.
Previously I was a strong believer of the “small is big” philosophy. However, AOL’s culling of three small niche blogs– pvrwire, divester , and bloggingohio –challenges this theory.  If with the full support of the Weblogs, Inc machine these blogs cannot survive, is niche blogging a profitable model?

I recently purchased the novation x-station for a little creative outlet. Sadly, I have had little time to play with it. My daughter, however, is becoming a little synth master.
Each time she sits down to play with it, I show her what one new knob does. She goes through the presets tweaking the knobs to twist the sound in a million ways.
