RE: Blogs in the workplace

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

I access a few blogs by some members of Techwr-l, by some editors, 
and by a few renowned language mavens, to clear up the occasional 
puzzle, to get ammunition when arguing with cow-orkers about 
writing-related questions, etc.   Mostly I'm just looking for 
external muscle (a.k.a. authority) to back up what I already 
know, and have said to the unbelievers. 

Being a natural writer with decades of experience, I've 
internalized the rules aeons ago, so I sometimes need another 
resource to articulate (or at least remember the proper 
terminology for) why I make certain choices.

I also hit the odd technical blog when I'm desperately seeking 
solutions to tool and OS problems. In this latter case, it's 
not that I keep bookmarks of certain blogs, it's more a matter 
of what Google serves up for any given search.
