Here’s a question I’ve had for a while. How do you make money off of your blog if you are unwilling to use advertising? Can it ever be profitable?

I’ve been growing discontent with my blog. The content, traffic, and discussion are decent but I feel unsatisfied. When I happened past the Strategic Blogging series on ProBlogger I knew that I needed a Blog Blueprint. I don’t intend on monetizing this blog in any way shape or form but ...

After more than a year I’ve finally managed to finish We’ve Got Blog — a first hand account of the origins of blogging. It’s a fantastic book. The only reason it took me so long to finish is because the only time I have to read is when I’m, ehem, ...

I’ve been looking and looking for some good, non-geeky guy blogs but you know, it’s really hard to find good stuff like that nowadays. I checked out the 9rules Network, and I should probably look a little deeper, but again, GEEKS. Geeks are everywhere.

I’ve started a bit of a night time ritual. At about 10 PM, when Mary and the babies are asleep I get out the laptop, prop it up against my pillow, and read blogs until I’m tired. I love it.
I’ve read about economics, recessions, the housing market, celebrities, blogging, ...

Our friends James, Danielle, and their daughter Zoe just visited from Australia. It feels like we spent most of our time eating but we watched a couple of movies, listened to music, and gabbed.

Use the en dash (–) for a closed range. e.g. “Please read pages 3–389 by tomorrow.”
Use the em dash (—) for ...
