Can you really make money writing a blog? I don’t know. Never tried. The selfish philosopher rages. But we’ll see.
This pristine site will soon start carrying ads; I may even write at the behest of an advertiser. A LONG time ago I was a freelancer; I used to write for a nickel a word. That was eons ago; now I plan on writing for 7 cents a word and few bucks per embedded link.
I’ll let you know how that plays out.
If it’s enough to feed my morning hazelnut cappuccino addiction, then so be it. I’ll get paid to swill coffee and plan my day. I’ll take it.

Brock – Good luck with the monetization. Thanks for the link :)
Well, the first place turned me down… guess the ol’ gut check is too controversial? Anyway, so far, no commercial sponsors are beating down the door. :)
