		<description>You know, Bloke, today was the first day I've ever considered advertising on my blog. I allowed the idea to sneak into my head, even though I swore I'd never do it. I'm having a hard time justifying the time I put into my blog and not seeing any monetary reward. I'm paid in other ways, though. I'm grateful for my readership and my sister jokes that I'm "paid in love." She's right. It's a great reward. But I do let myself think about advertising more and more now, if only to pay host fees and stuff. I don't know. It's a real dilemma for me. Sorry to ramble. Just wanted you to know I think of it, too, and struggle with the idea of it.

Have a great day!

		<description>Thanks Kathy. I've missed you around here and happy Mother's Day. I don't know what I would do without my women Blokesters. You say the sweetest things.

I'm sorry for taking so long to get back into the saddle again. I've been fixing little things in the template and playing around with my new podcasting equipment. I'm still debating whether or not to put up a podcast. I'm a perfectionist and keep scrapping it. I thinking I'm working on my 533rd take now.

Cheers!</description>

		<description>Bloke, sorry I'm late to the party. Been very busy with writing and dealing with a content stealer. It kind of knocked me off my course a bit this week.

As for relevancy, I'm with Debbie Dolphin. I can say with conviction that every blogger (new or existing) needs to carry you around in their back pocket. I would be nowhere without your help and encouragement. Early on, I needed a lot of help and you were there. Your expertise was and is so valuable to me. This is the first place I come to have questions answered.

As to the issue of advertising, no question. Do it. You owe it to yourself and why not? If anyone knows how to make it work, it's you.

Again, sorry for my delay in responding to your latest posts. I'm struggling a little with time management. Between my day job, my blog and two others I write for, I think I'm a little over my head. There's a post idea for you. "How to Avoid the Time-Sucking Vortex."

Be well,
Kathy</description>

		<description>Gosh Georjina I almost blushed when I read your comment. That is sooooo sweet of you to say that. I'm sure my detractors will think I paid you. ;-) Oh well, fooey on them.

I guess I'm going through a mid-age crisis or something because I still haven't yet found the hook I'm looking for that will excite me to want to write again. There are just too many copycats now out there now and I can't see the point.

I must be missing something. It's probably staring me right in the face and I just can't see it yet but I remain hopeful it will come.

Thanks so much for your kind words. You really made my day.</description>

		<description>Aw common, you are really getting tired of us aren't you:) Seriously, none of what I've done and considered doing with my blog would have kept me going if not for you. Thank you.

The soul searching you're going through is the same one I'm in the middle of right now and if you can come through your challenge with hope, so can I!

Keep up the great "opinionated and true" posts, add the products or services you think are most helpful to us and we'll follow you anywhere!

Feed your family and take care of your health are the priorities. Consider this: Even Shakespeare was plagiarized! You're in excellent company.

All the best.

		<description>Hey Bloke, I still think you are relevant and I love when you give your opinions on the blogosphere or on certain parties within the blogosphere. As for the advertising aspect, I don't blame you at all. Blogging as a hobby is great, but at some point, you would like to have the hobby at least pay for itself or the hobby will disappear. At least you are being upfront about the advertising and it will be interesting to see if you can pull in any revenue the ethically correct way. 

If that doesn't work, I highly suggest you take your blogging skills and use them to get you hired for another blog. That way, you could get paid to blog on that site and then pay for this site which would be your personal blog. You wouldn't have to worry about advertising since someone else would be paying you. If you end up becoming desperate for income, my last ditch effort would be to talk with a blog network to see if they could buy you or acquire your site to be added in to the network. Then they pay you either a flat rate or on performance.

		<description>Thanks Kuanyin. It's good to hear from you and I hope your health is getting better.

I'm just coming off a break from blogging as well. I needed the time to rethink things and tweak the template. If I can't make money blogging then I will probably have to pack it in because I'm running out of spare computer parts. :-)

By the way, what code are you referring to?

Good thoughts and well wishes coming your way,

		<description>I agree with Tica Macha--you're special and have an original, authentic voice which makes you stand out from others! As for advertising, go for it! If anyone can make it work, you can! 

BTW, I tried to add your code to my sidebar, but it was way too big and screwed up my blog, so I had to take it off. Do you have a smaller version?

Hey, I really like your newly re-designed blog! I have subscribed!

		<description>My dearest Blog Bloke, YOU is what sets your blog apart from the others.  No one else has your style.  What's wrong with advertising, it doesn't affect the content.  Go for it.  This isn't a race and it shouldn't be competitive.  Just blog what you know and love and you will stand out above the rest.  Teri
