(Then again I'm anti "donation via pay-pal" icons on blogs...lordy those things annoy me. If you were a non-profit I might think about a donation. But staying in your mama's basement because you're to lazy or prideful to get a job. Instead asking for hand outs from your readers... how rude.)

But I don't for a second think this blog replaces:
5 - Client Relations
4 - Networking
3 - Mailings (paper advertising)
2 - Word of Mouth
and... what I consider the most important:
1 - Doing my job well.
Actions, to me, speak so much louder then words... even if those are in a blog form.
