Blogging for love or money (or both)

Daniel Lyons (fake Steve Jobs) for Newsweek: Time to Hang Up the Pajamas
I keep this blog going because I enjoy sharing. If anyone clicks on an ad or buys something through my B&H affiliate banner great. If not, life goes on. If you blog for money, you’re in trouble from the start. It’s just not a great reason to share.
Seems like wherever we look, money is turning things to shit.
I agree, Richard. I haven’t been blogging as regularly as before, but am trying to do a little more this month, as part of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), an “offshoot” of NaNoWriMo. I’m rediscovering the pleasure of writing about things I care about, and I’m enjoying writing about them again.
Chet: Right, exactly. Post for yourself and if others can relate they’ll read, comment, link to. If not, you’ve put something in your (public) journal.
