Molly and Liz have stopped blogging for money, saying that it messed up their entire relationship with their blogs as their personal spaces. This is closely related to Torill’s points when the blog sponsorship deals were first announced. I wonder whether Kottke will find that happens with his new blog-for-a-living decision?

All in all, I’m glad I gave it a try. I learned a lot about my relationship to my blog, and about the way other people perceive it.
