Until tomorrow, when yesterday slips away. Wednesday buries Monday and pretty soon the good stuff is down in the basement somewhere. Want context? Just check out our handy tag cloud! Click around and you’ll find it. . .somewhere. Maybe.

One of the areas that I struggled with, besides that of my own financial situation, was what effect the presence of advertising would have on my content and my readership.  Would it add or detract from my legitimacy, credibility, and authority?  Would it drive or diminish traffic?  And how well does advertising mesh with my own personal ethics?
