How can I make a real career out of this mess?

Help me make sense of my career. Advertising copywriter, now working in marketing agency as a creative whatsit, also an About.com guide on the side. I want to do more stuff like the latter, want to dump the former. What should I be doing to get there?
I’m passionate about the Internet in general, online community-building in particular. I love the work I’m doing for About, and I’d like to spend more time doing stuff that relates to it more (traveling around Asia, writing, creating online content).
At the same time, I’m going to be a dad in a few weeks, and I’d like to know that I’m pursuing a long-term career. How can I get from where I am now (writer, some marketing and PR experience, managing an About site) to a fruitful profession (something about blogging, SEO, online communities, beyond that I have no clue)?
I’d like to know a) what kind of career I can build from this haphazard CV, and b) what I can do to get there. Thanks in advance for your help!
