For starters

Okay, so I am reading some other places about how people are making money blogging. Not much mind you, but a little bit here and a little bit there. And hey, for a family of five with a single income because my wife is disabled, and having to commute 130 miles round trip to get to work, and with the gas prices fluctuating they way they are, even with a little 65+ MPG car like the Honda Insight, every little bit helps right?

This site I'm going to talk about my experiences in the attempts to earn a little extra bling by doing this whole blogging thing. I'm all new to this, so this is going to take some learning. Granted, I am a software developer, but I'm not very knowledgable in the world of blogging. I read blogs all the time, mostly news blogs - but I have been reading more and more non-news blogs. It was one of those blogs that got me to thinking if I can really get an extra $50 a month or so by doing this.

Like I said, there is a learning curve. For instance, at Technorati, they can tell you how many blogs are linked to your blogs. I currently have several blogs that I have setup and one that is real active, the others are updated two to three days a week. This one I hope to update daily as I wind my way through the avenues, side streets and back alleys of the blogosphere. Ok, back to what I was talking about. At Technorati they have this deal that is supposed to tell you what blogs are linked to your blogs. So I put in a post in my seperate blogs with a link to each other. But Technorati says none of my blogs are linked to by any other blog.

Then again, I only did all this today, so maybe it will take some time to filter through. I just don't know. See, this is one of those learning curve things I have to get used to.
