As of this month, this blog pays for itself. It doesn’t pay me, but I’m no longer digging into the household budget to cover the costs of running it. Thank you, gentle readers, for coming back here over and over to hear about my wild children and other adventures.
Readers this week drew my attention to a few issues on the blog:
1. Floating/expandable ads making the content hard to read: I apologize for that. I never saw them, presumably because my own browser is set to block that stuff. Thank you, person who mentioned it. I think I’ve fixed it now. If an ad on this site is getting out of its box, or otherwise annoying or offensive, please let me know.
2. New ad placements: Firing the floating ads means giving up some revenue, and I’d like the blog to continue paying its rent. I’m considering some additional ad placements to make up the difference. Please weigh in on what would be least obnoxious for you.
Loading ...3. Contact info: By popular demand, I’ve now added a contact page on the upper navbar. You, your friends, your mom and your literary agents eager to offer me a six-figure book deal can now e-mail me at sierra@childwild.com. If I don’t write back, please don’t take offense. My e-mail response time is weak since the kids have figured out that I can check my e-mail on the iPhone. Rio has started saying sternly, “Mommy! It is not time to work. Did you bring us to the playground to work? No. You came here to play with me. Push me on the swings.”
4. Guest posts and tips: It’s no secret that I get a lot of my best stuff from you. I’ve run a few guests posts recently from people I’m close to (in fact, both the guest posts were authored by people who live in my house). More reader submissions are welcome. If you’re interested in guest posting here, or have a news tip or story idea you’d like to see me write about, please drop me a line at sierra@childwild.com
These changes are being nudged by the blog starting to grow a solid readership. Again, thank you, beloved readers. I love you and your savvy, interesting, funny, infuriating comments. Thanks for playing. I promise to keep writing the funniest, deepest, weirdest stories I can; please keep reading and commenting.
