I think I mentioned this before, but I had a stint as an editor in chief at a local community newspaper (legals paper). I learned a lot there and as the same as a college paper. Writing blogs is much like writing smaller articles for newspaper — you have to make the short seem interesting, and writing less is much, much harder that writing more, especially if you want to make it relevant. Copyblogger has some pretty good tips on what we should be learning from newspapers, and applying to writing for blogs.
