Recently I read an an article recently that suggested journalism students without blogs are less likely to be employed upon graduation, even if they posess a sparkling portfolio. I think the portfolio is still all important above and beyond a blog, although blogs add a new element to a resume, especially considering the techo savvy world of today. Blogs reach a mass audience, and this is why many magazines and other publications are making the shift from a print to web based format.

 I think this  is really good guide for more serious bloggers.
