Oh boy, I can't tell you how much
of "an exciting time" this is. Like many of you out there, I find that
nothing gets me quite as hyped as paying bills. The question is how to
keep the website alive and not have it be a financial drain as I'm not
exactly, flush, loaded, prosperous, moneyed or any other term that
could be applied. It's been and advertisement free place since the
creation of the Jefferson State Creeking blog many years ago, under a
Blondie inspired slogan of "Dreaming is Free". While dreaming may be free, hosting dreaming is not.
I'd consider tasteful advertisements in the style of
Daring Fireball,
but the industry does not run tasteful ads, and rarely pays for them at
all. In that light, if anyone would like to contribute to help keep the
dreaming alive, it would be sincerely appreciated. I am also open to
input on if I should put a list of donors up or not, happy to hear
feedback on this. Donations can be made via paypal to
