Unless it's a character blog?

Anyone have a good resource (website) for bloggers wanting to capture one of those jobs other than traditional job board searches or the new RSS career feed?

On jobs, you may wnat to contact Paul Chaney at Radiant Marketing. He has been a big proponent of companies hiring bloggers and I believe he has placed some people. Not sure it's at the dollars mentioned but he may have some ideas.

Sounds like a cool job to me. I can't imagine getting paid a salary to do what I do.
