Fury is a Tramp

I'm curious about something...

Y'see, a while ago whilst browsing some legacy websites, I saw some people had those donate buttons on their pages. I'd seen them before- on custom content sites and things, but it never really occurred to me that others might stick 'em on their blogs and whatnot. And the more pressing question is: do people actually donate?

I could always do with some money, who couldn't? Mebbe I have a rich fan out there who'd like to keep me in pants and teacakes for a while. I highly doubt it, but in the interest of curiosity and mooching I'm adding one of those donate buttons to my blog.

I'll be genuinely shocked if anyone actually gives me any money, but if they do I can promise I'll spend it on something important- like CDs to listen to whilst I write a new chapter of The Heart Family Legacy. It'll be like people are paying me to Sim ;)

I've actually wondered before if I could make money off of this blog- I mean, what better than getting paid for doing what you love? But I've always drawn the line at things like Google AdSense, cause although that would rack up some funds I really don't want to subject you all to ads everywhere (like how MySims3Blog looks if you don't have ad blockers).

Instead, this seems like a nice no-obligation way of perhaps earning the odd quid every so often.

I shall keep you posted if there are any insanely generous people out there, unless they don't want me to.


Yours moochily, FuryRed.

  3. LOL! How clever of you! I would donate lots, but my parents wouldn't let me! :( They won't even let me use my savings to buy "LATE NIGHT"... Apparently I should wait 'till Christmas! Parents annoy me sometimes... And whats worse I can't play sims 3 'till I'm ready for my Eistedford... Talk about torture... Not that you care(don't, I don't know why I'm saying this...) Well I'm of to learn my monolougue, I hope you rake in lots of bakon!

  10. No one should feel bad for not donating :P My marvellous blog services will always be free- donations make me feel warm inside but are in no way essential ;)
