Okay, since WordPress’s entry form is buggered in Firefox, I decided this would be the perfect time to test out a blogging utility. Since I’ve been looking at a lot of stuff Microsoft has been testing recently, and been unable to try a lot of it (Windows Live Mail didn’t work all that well in Firefox until recently; Windows Live Messenger is XP and up only; IE7 is XP and up, etc etc.), I was skeptical about Windows Live Writer.

So, I cranked it up today, to make the previous post, because I wanted to actually post. Strangely, while I can use the exact same form from my phone, using Opera Mini, I can’t use it from Firefox, and I don’t know why.

Until then, it looks like I’ve got a client.

Now, how do I turn down this thing’s interface? ;o

Okay, so some people out there may be skeptical.

“Another hoax?” some of you may be saying.

I have news for all of yous.

It’s not a hoax. It’s real.

What’s real?

PayPerPost is real.

I have pulled in $10.25 with them so far, for just two posts. I will continue with them, because I am pleased with the concept of actually making money with my efforts.
Small sites stand very little chance of profit with Google’s AdWords, Chitika’s eMiniMalls, or AdBrite. They fare a lot better with guaranteed payouts of given amounts. It’s easier to plan how one is going to pay for things, when one knows just how much is coming in for a particular ad campaign.
Here’s my receipt for my first payment from them:

Some of you may remember that from when I was so excited to see that they’d pay the first time. I spread the love then, and I’m spreading the love again.
