reviews first year as a pro blogger - 1,450 people donated a total of $39,900, but almost entirely in the first three weeks.

So what’s going to happen with kottke.org? I’m not quite sure at this point. In the short term, it’s going to be taking a back seat to some other things going on in my life. Longer term, who knows? I might look for other ways to fund my efforts on the site or maybe it goes back to being more of a hobby. But there will be posts and links and other things here almost daily, just like there have been for almost 8 years now.

Jason, we at YISTA sure hope you can continue blogging professionally as you have been a great role model for bloggers around the world.
