The Blogging Metaphor Project and Winners

Inspired by my post “How do you explain blogging to your Mom?“ and Derrick’s We’re All Pizza Makers post, Liz Strauss at Successful Blog decided to have a Group Writing Project called What’s your blogging metaphor. In all there were about 50 participants – each sharing their own unique comparison of blogging to something else others can relate to. Here is the final list of entries:
