Even though you are right about the Y2K consultants not lasting long, I have seen a number of opportunities for blog consultation - including even my own consultation business. Of course we don't know how long this blog explosion will last but lets just enjoy it as it comes and continues! Sorry but I’m going to have to disagree.

Blogs do not exist in a world of their own any more than email or internet sites - they are all possible tools for businesses to use depending on their requirements. If you look at the profile of the people who are starting to offer such services (myself and Tom Raftery included) we have much broader skillsets than the ability to tweak wordpress. On your final point I would say that diversification cannot be 5 years away - it has to be at the beginning. The market now cannot support such a beast as a dedicated blog technologist - the service makes more sense when offered as a subset of an existing professional offering such as PR.
