not this cute anymore!
THAT is the question...
When I switched my blog over to fairlyhappy.com, I decided to do advertising with BlogHer. I think I left the ads running for a couple of weeks before I felt too weird about it. This blog is definitely NOT a business. I don't write to make money. I don't pretend to be a professional at motherhood, homeschooling and least of all writing. So, I decided to take the ads down. I felt more relaxed about how often I posted/comments/what I wrote about/whether or not people were reading and so forth.
AND THEN I got a check in the mail from BlogHer. I was pleasantly surprised and said to myself "That was the easiest FREE MONEY I've ever earned." There is no reason not to get paid for what I am already doing. So, pardon the ads. In fact, don't just pardon them-- why don't you make friends and click on them? You can even go so far as to tell others about my blog so they will click on them. I have officially decided that the advertising will stay. I hope you will too.
ps. I am also going to be more careful about what I post. I will be updating my private blog with the personal stuff.. so I feel less worried about what the entire world is reading. If you need an invite, let me know.

I've always wondered, do you get the money from your ads if I read your blog on the Google Reader? Just seeing all your Halloween pictures on your blog was worth the trip into the blog rather than Google reader today!!
PS - I thought I had an invite to the private blog, but no longer. Don't know if you mean for mainly family now, so understand either way.
Me too...I had an invite but couldn't get into it today. I checked it just last week though. Did you do something to change it?
I wish I had enough readers to make money off ads. Lucky you!
I would love to be a part of your private blog. Last time, you didn't have enough room:)
Perhaps you rotate your private blog readers... I'm currently out, you are just too popular and sought after to be limited to only 100 friends! I'll continue to enjoy FairlyHappy...
Glad you will be rewarded monetarily in some way for all your clever blogging and of course for your exciting life that is worth blogging about!
Ditto. I still read Fairly Happy, but am sure I would go crazy clicking on the Amazon links if I were allowed to see your other blog.
Janet, if you have room I'd love to be invited! :) Can't wait to come out soon and see that sweet boy!!!
