Back when I was on blogspot, I would occasionally get these cute emails from folks saying, \u201chow can I donate to keep you in bandwidth,\u201d and I would get all flattered and thank them for their lovely and generous impulses, and remind them that Blogger was free, so they could just keep that buck or fiver or tenspot in their wallet!<\/p>\n
And\u2026of course\u2026you can still keep the buck or fiver or tenspot in your wallet.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m off blogger now, and eating bandwidth like that unpleasant girl in Willie Wonka \u2013 the one who blew up! My husband is a very supportive type, but he draws the line at supporting this incessant munching.<\/p>\n
So, I have installed an Amazon Honor System-pay-thingee, which should be interesting! I\u2019m only mentioning it this once, because I know you folks will notice it, so I feel I must acknowledge. I\u2019m not a tin cup shaker; I will not whine and drop hints and shake the cyber cup under your nose, and I promise that if folks donate to the bandwidth fund I will not suddenly announce that I\u2019m taking a break from blogging in order to write a book and tour Europe!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just there for your utilization or not. Pretend you\u2019re walking by and you see the Buster standing near the Anchoress\u2019 cell, blowing on a saxophone, with the case opened on the ground. Peering inside the window, you can see the Anchoress bopping her head to the beat and typing away\u2026or, scratching at a parchment with a quill, if you like! Maybe you\u2019d like to toss some loose change that-a-way? :-)<\/p>\n
