Sponsors | And now, a word about my advertisers

Advertisers account for only a fraction of my overall blogging income. Since April 1, for example, ads comprised just 17% of the $1,667 I've received -- underscoring how much I depend on reader donations to help underwrite Gannett Blog.

Last week, however, I received only $20 in donations vs. $157 from ads, putting me well under the approximately $330 a week needed to hit my quarterly goal.

But wait, there's more! Watch the following video to learn about the cool acknowledgement I'll send you for a donation:



Earlier: Do my new ads really pay off? Plus: More episodes on Gannett Blog's YouTube channel

I'm trying to earn $4,000 quarterly, mostly through sponsorships of $5 per reader, plus limited ad sales. Please use the "Donate" tool in the green rail, upper right. Or mail cash/checks payable to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif., 94114-2594.
