Let me add I do slip commercial stuff into my blog if it make sense ---
e.g. if I am speaking to the Boston user group, and doing training there
as well, I mention the training, but that isn't the topic of the blog
post (http://momjian.us/main/blogs/pgblog/2012.html#January_16_2012_2).

Also, I think the commercial PEM product could be blogged about if it
allows users to see aspects of Postgres via graphs that are not usually
visible. Also, it possible to blog about Postgres running on the cloud
and tangentially mention the EDB cloud product, or other cloud products.
(I mentioned commercial products when I blogged about monitoring,
http://momjian.us/main/blogs/pgblog/2011.html#November_30_2011.)

In summary, there are ways to do it now, but it has to be done
carefully.
