Capitalism is good. It's all about exchanging value for value. That means we're all better off. Now, there's a coterie of folks who think that the internet ought to be "commercial free" and that any commerce on the net is evil, but they're just plain wrong. You create value that warrants our attention. You give us pleasure and information that improves our lives or helps us accomplish something that's important to us. Coincidentally, we may want or need to buy some stuff related to the things we're reading about. Why shouldn't we be directed to those products that we might need or want. It's a service to us and to the advertisers. You should be paid for providing that service. You should be paid for your work. Personally, I'd rather give my attention to your advertisers than cut you a check each month (which otherwise would be the right thing to do). So there. :) Mark RehabOrDie Look. Capitalism is good.

Blogging does take up so much time, and I have been cutting back a little lately just to get needed things done. Perhaps I'll try having advertisers soon, too, so it can generate something tangible -- not that any have approached me --lol! I'll be away for the house tour --dang it! Going to Denver for my D-I-L's baby shower. Hope to catch the next open house. Good luck! hugs, Pat Hi Julia

Good for you for keeping with the blog, because it is just fab. but on the flipside, blogs seem to lose "some" charm with all the ads. But if i know you, you will continue to keep it looking good:) I for sure have mixed feelings. Good for you for keeping with the blog, because it is just fab.

I started accepting them too. It just takes up too much time not to make a little money off of it. Honestly, blogging has started to be a little overwhelming of late. Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. Good for you Julia. I started accepting them too. It just takes up too much time not to make a little money off of it.

I am so glad you were up front about the ads, I think making money from your blog is a great idea. It's something I have always been curious about but haven't seriously considered since my blog hasn't been a priority since Chloe was born. Hope to be back soon! Tracey p.s. We went to the Creation museum this summer on our way through Cincinnati and it was worth the stop! Hi Julia,

You work so very hard on this blog, the ads won't bother anyone, and I'd so much rather see you keep up the blog than have to move onto other, paying gigs.
