If you are looking for a blogging related job, there are many resources out on the web, including the regular job boards that will sometimes list the jobs under writing or content management.
I was searching on a popular site here in Canada called Workopolis, and they actually had some jobs that were basically blogging related. Managing content on a business website with respect to reporting the continued efforts and successes of the company is basically a corporate blog.
So if you are thinking that finding a blogging related job is hard to find, you haven’t been looking hard enough, as they are everywhere.
Some of my favourite resources for looking at blogging related jobs include:
I would also recommend contacting your favourite blogs or even blog networks to see if they have any openings. Some blogs are always looking for new contributors, even if they haven’t opened their blog for more authors before. Blog networks are always looking for passionate people to add to their team, and so if you can prove your passion, you could have a job.
Don’t get disheartened from the low paying, one post a week type jobs that are out there, as for every one of those, there are the hundreds of dollars a month part time gigs that are really worthwhile.

Oddly enough, the system I use the least is also my most powerful. My desktop computer was put together by me, and includes an Antec Sonata II case, Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor, two gigabytes of DDR2 ram, and 750 gigabytes of hard drive space. I use a wireless HP keyboard, a super cheap Logitech optical mouse, and have a reasonably decent 19-inch Samsung LCD. I have both Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista on this computer, and I spend about equal time in both operating systems now.
I have two laptops, though one has become my wife’s more than mine. I have my MacBook Pro which I do almost all of my work on, and then a IBM ThinkPad T43 which I check out web development work using Windows XP. The MacBook Pro was purchased just before the most recent update in its specs, meaning mine is a 2.16GHz model with a single gigabyte of ram. Of course I use OS X 10.4 on the MacBook Pro, but I hope to update to Leopard as soon as certain important things are fixed.
My camera is a few years old now, but it is one of the first free gadgets I received from my blogging work with 
For the myriad of podcasts I do, I have my trusty USB microphone, the Samson Q1U which I ordered off someone on eBay. It is a very professional feeling microphone and works really well for podcasting. For the most part, any sound degradation you hear in the podcast is usually due to my incompetence as an audio editor.
To help me unwind or just to keep me happy, I have my two consoles, the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. I consider these to be some of the smartest purchases I have made, despite also being the most tempting distractions.
