Your Contributions

You may have noticed, dear reader, a new 'Donate' button on this blog where you can delve into the pits of your pockets and support me in making this blog a long-term occupation. Before you remove me from your favorites tab forever, let me reassure you. I plan to maintain this blog for years to come, but only with your help will I bring it within the standards that I hope to achieve. A leader is made only by his followers. However, I recognize that it needs to be me who makes the first leap. From the middle of May onwards I'll aim to provide a single, solid, lengthy article at least once a week, partly to flex my muscles, but partly in an effort to focus what I already do, and feel compelled to do, whilst turning this into a viable future project. You will have noticed that there are no advertisements cluttering this blog, and there never will be, and after having looked into the option of monetizing this space, I feel a simple, one-off, five dollar donation would reap much greater rewards than the aesthetically hideous AdSense bars, and build an even greater sense of community. Your money would go towards my subscriptions, my literature expenses, and the upkeep of my equipment. You'd tip a waiter in a restaurant, wouldn't you? So if you like what I write, help me expand this blog. Thank you.
