And I agree with you. After spending months trying to monetize this website, and having none of the luck I had with my other websites, I decided that I should focus on sharing expertise (or lack there of) that I gained. I am not a dot com mogul. I sure don't claim to be either. If the content is good and I can build a solid core, maybe I'll reconsider and remonetize this site. But for now, I'm getting used to the no advertisement look. Cheers! Thanks for the comment Ian. And I agree with you.

I am coming around to the opinion that we should sell less and "attract" moreso. Giving people the space to buy if you like. And people I suspect are far less attracted to boastfulness than they are a little honesty, self-deprecation and more factual evidence for any claims you make.
