an ad for paid bloggers really brings em out of the woodwork
Leah didn't mention it in her previous post, but the position in question is one that involves getting paid to write blog entries! No, they're not paying her for writing: why would they, when the internet knows you can get her posts here for free?! But that she's involved in all is a sign that she's really arrived in the blogging world. After all, isn't getting paid for this everyone's dream, and the reason we all ever got started blogging? Certainly, the only time Leah's dad (hi Ira!) every mentions the squibix family blog to us it's only to ask if we've started making any money off it yet. I believe he thinks we should be running ads. Not yet, but don't worry, if the readership gets high enough I've got a design in the works with plenty of room for banners, skyscrapers, and IMUs. I might even be prepared to deal the naming rights, if I hear a tempting offer! The squibix family blog, presented by Starbucks®? The Subways® squibix family blog? Awesome!
