Update on PayPal Experiment

A dear reader nudged me into setting up a PayPal account for donations in February. So far, three donations have totaled $110, including one check sent by mail.

Jim Hopkins has resumed publishing Gannett Blog and is also taking donations. As a former Gannettoid, I find his blog very interesting and I have sent him money in appreciation.

If you are so inclined, you can send donations for Plaintalker via PayPal to bernice.paglia "at" gmail.com or inquire there for a mailing address.

There is a small controversy in the blogosphere over whether aggregators should get paid for assembling other folks' original content. I tend to come down on the side of originators over aggregators, but both are here to stay, so let all monetize as they wish.

PayPal Enabled

OK, I have followed the advice of a devoted reader and set up a PayPal account.

It seems you can send a PayPal contribution to me at bernice.paglia "at" gmail.com and it will land in my new account.

I have been reporting on the blog since June 2005 with no compensation except the knowledge that I have been informing the public on issues that need citizen interest and input. If you appreciate the work, feel free to donate.
