A little complaining about the blogosphere

Do you negotiate fees?
2008-04-17 11:53:00 I don’t offer paid reviews on this site like so many other bloggers do. I really don’t see how that makes this blog any better for my readers.

Fun time transitioning from one domain to another
2008-04-10 10:57:00 I have another blog all about celebrities but unfortunately I started it long, long ago when I was much more naive about how SEO and the Internet works.
