As a reader I sometimes wish bloggers like yourself and Louis had "Donate" buttons on your blogs. I would be more than happy to pick up your hosting tab for a month or two every now and then as a "thank you" for producing such a great blog. I click your ads for the sole purpose of trying to generate income for you, I do that at all my favorite blogs (where available, ahem Louis) while rarely having any interest in the ad itself... but that makes me feel dirty. I would much rather you get more than 3 cents out of my visit and I would rather be able to pay you for your work personally, but that's just me.
