For me the dream is to make a full-time living from my photography. I would also do some blogging because I really enjoy writing about photography. And if your thinking about starting a photoblog I have one important advice for you. Get yourself a domain and web host, THEN install WordPress on it.
Don’t go with a free site because you will get FAR less traffic that way.
