Please Support ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected

The last time I promoted the fact that I had a donation button on this blog was 2 years and 9 months ago

I seriously thought about posting about this again last week. I dismissed the thought thinking “nah … I’m not that kind of blogger.” Not meaning anything negative but I blog as a hobby and not for a living. But the idea wasn’t leaving me. And then, out of the blue, someone made a donation today! I think it is the first one since that last posting :). I took that as inspiration to go ahead and craft this post.

Like most of us I am trying to find ways to cut spending and save money. This blog isn’t very expensive to maintain … maybe $250 to $300 a year (host, Flickr pro, URL renewal and misc.) However, with increased traffic and using up my space on the server this expense might need to go up a little (not much) next year. At the same time I put a lot of work into this hobby. So, if you would like to support this blog please donate.

Also, tell me your honest thoughts/advice/criticism about this type of post in the comments.
