My point is, if someone did want to succeed in this kind of endeavor, there are a lot more things in their favor now than there were in the past.

My writing is available, you just need to know where to look, and understand that I no longer own that writing
I don't read blogs or journals and every time I've set one up I've abandoned it almost as quickly. And if by suceed, you mean monetarily, then yes, there's no doubt that a few people will make bucketfulls of cash, and the ease of digital creation will help them do that.
I'm just bored with that particular idea of success for myself. I believe that every person who puts down an honest word in the pursuit of story or poetry or literature has already succeeded. And to gain an honest response is worth more than all the money that can be printed (that kind of response happened several times for me last year).
