chrislingle-glad you see blogging isn't just about money! Didn't Jon get a lot of people to this forum through his blog? (I'm one of them)
Besides, blogging provides me with happy meal money!
My website skills are below minimal, I
can blog though! Since I started blogging I have learned how to do a lot of things (a little html, ftp client, hosting, ad placement, etc). Doing what I can (blogging with blogger and now WP) is better than doing nothing while I develop other skills/have the money to pay someone to do what I can't.
Also, I can get group home staff help info out there a lot sooner than if I wait to do a website. The information can be more current as well.
