Just a pause to thank everyone who has sent me money through the “Buy Me a Coffee” link on the right. I just had a really nice message from someone who was enjoying an audiobook of “O Livro do Desassossego” from Wook after I mentioned it in a post on New Year’s Eve. It’s always really nice to know that someone is reading these little brainfarts of mine and recently I seem to find there are more and more people saying hello to me. I’m not sure what that means. Is European Portuguese becoming a more popular language these days? Excellent!
I tried to set it up so I had enough money trickling in that I could run the site ad-free without it costing me money because the ads that used to appear in the first 3 or 4 years were so annoying. As it turns out, when I tally up contributions minus WordPress’s hosting fees I am actually earning about 4 pence per blog post! Amazing! I am now going to tell everyone I know that I am a professional bogger since for the last two months it has been my only income stream! (Don’t worry though, I’m starting a new job tomorrow so I won’t starve!)
