Microsoft recently posted a recruite advertisement for paid bloggers to write and edit Web sites about five broad topics: fashion/food/style, music, sports, technology, and television.

The MSN recruiting ads began appearing on various journalism career sites such as Mediabistro.com and JournalismJobs.com late last week. The ads sought editors to write and produce between 5 and 10 blog posts a day; review user submissions; and monitor comments and feedback.
