Probably more significant is that the blog isn't used to pay my mortgage. Never was. There is no "storm" to weather, really.
Sure, I'd be happier with a higher CPM and more readers, but I'm not all that worried about it. I still love doing it and it gets me more lucrative gigs elsewhere.
And that's why I read it. I have learned more from you about travel, not transportation, then all the Titans put together. Your reports on places like Slovenia and Laos to name just two inspired me to visit. You do what you do because you love it and not for the money and it shows. I got turned off the Titans when the cc pimping started and the tone of their blogs changed. I love that TPG is advertising on your tools site and I love that site, too.
