Seth Godin puts his digital digit on why I would never put advertising on this blog (assuming anyone ever wanted to do so):

“Do your art. But don’t wreck your art if it doesn’t lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

And the twist, because there is always a twist, is that as soon as you focus on your art and leave the money behind, you may just discover that this focus turns out to be the secret of actually breaking through and making money.

Loving what you do is almost as important as doing what you love, especially if you need to make a living at it.”
