Perhaps it is my "selling out to the man" idiosyncracy. <br /><br />However, I like Brandy's idea that if you did decide to monetize, you could donate the proceeds to literacy projects. I love reading here, and you are definitely correct that it is part of your academic pursuits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145443337157660074.post-61766649568242273712010-06-09T11:04:51.885-05:002010-06-09T11:04:51.885-05:00I agree that primarily it is a convenience issue a...I agree that primarily it is a convenience issue and a lot of the works you are discussing are not easily found, so you would really be helping the vendors out. Even though you are not at all concerned about money, I'd add that you put a lot of thought and time into your blog and I wouldn't fault you if you made a small profit off it it. But, you could even donate that profit to a literacy group or something if you feel the need. I don't think any of your loyal readers would ever find your recommendations suspect just because there was a click through link.BrandyMcDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250369651805323243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145443337157660074.post-42446666228367658802010-06-07T22:19:20.889-05:002010-06-07T22:19:20.889-05:00Not tacky at all..

It helps them out- and you get a little slice of the pie.blueskieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864484875006017143noreply@blogger.com
