I'm like you, I blog mostly for fun because I like meeting new people and exchanging ideas.

I was initially hugely turned off by "pay-per-post," and I still haven't completely come to terms with it. That's what's nice about BlogHer...a little something regardless of what you write. However, there are some bloggers out there who do not offer anything to me except insight into their personal life, which also happens to be very entertaining. Will I hand them money? No. Am I fully supportive of advertising on their blogs? Absolutely. Why not, when I would probably pay for a paperback that offers similar entertainment? Interesting.

If someone gets value from something someone writes, so be it. I've removed my plugin, though. Not only do I start paid work in 2 weeks' time--the first steady income in my household for 11 months--there was something at gut level that didn't sit right. I think getting this bent out of shape about it is a waste of energy, though. And my site isn't purely personal, either. Tip jars are as old as the internet.

I will say that none of them lasted very long on my blogroll. I think it is tacky as well. I have been blogging for 2–1/2 years and remember seeing these “tip jars” as far back as that.

As for "pay for posting" I don't get enough traffic to consider it. But even then - it would be a no-go. *grin* I wouldn’t ask… often I can’t get comments — I can’t imagine anyone would actually pay to read my blog.
