Jeff, those almost all aren’t jobs involving *doing* blogging.
They’re either computer programming services connected to blogging tools (web development, database), or marketing positions which have flacking to bloggers as part of the job.
That’s very different from *being* a blogger.
I mean, this one is almost funny:

How is this “clever”?

And how is it “clever” it ask whether it is “clever” and put “clever” in “quotes”?
I thought it was clever because it was an imaginative way to show how blogging — from the programming, marketing, publishing, or blogging end of it — has grown.
One man’s “clever” is apparently another man’s “snark.” -
I’d be wary of deriving too much about growth from that sort of search. Could I interest you in an object-oriented toaster? (that’s a joke about the popularity of another phrase).

Jeff – not trying to be snarky; used quotes becuase I was quoting your term. Just didn’t think that searching for jobs related to blogging was a unique phenomenon. Perhaps it is.
