What's That You Say, Mrs. Robinson?

Getting Paid

One of the many definitions of "professional" is: "Performed by persons receiving pay." In that sense, I am now a professional blogger!

That's right, you see those little ads to the right under the "Blogher Ad Network" language? Every time one of you views my blog with one of those ads on it, I get a smidgen of cash. Over time, that ads up and yesterday I received my first ever check from Blogher! They don't pay you until you have accumulated more than $25 and yesterday I got a check for $27 and some change. It covered the time period between October and December of 2006.

Thanks to all of you for contributing to my payday!

It may not be enough to quit my day job, but at this point it just about pays for my TypePad account. Not bad, huh? (She pats herself on the back).

Check me out...I'm podcasting

Here is a test message I recorded while at the BlogHer session on podcasting. I finally figured out how to up-load the file to TypePad. Oh, the possibilities!

Too much blogher...not enough time

How in the world am I going to get all of my thoughts and notes and ideas from BlogHer in writing. I've got to pack for myself and possibly my kids, clean, and generally prep to be gone for a week. Then, I don't think I really want to blog about anything but my trip while I'm on my trip.

By the time I get back it will all be a fog...

Oh the horor, the horor.

Starting a new blogging community

Attending a session about starting a blog community...I have been thinking about starting a blog for people parenting kids with ADHD. This is an interesting session getting us to think about how to start, what kinds of questions to ask yourself about what the purpose of the blog, what do you want out of it, what will the community want? What is the invitation and why is it valuable to the community?

This is an idea that I'm committing to. Don't know what it will turn into. Any ideas out there?
