    Now there's a good idea. :) And if you make a little money on the side even better, right?

    At first I wanted a review and articles type of website. So I went with joomla, bought some commercial grade modifications, spent 4 - 5 months building the site and adding content, only to realize it did not work the way I wanted it to. So I took the site down for a few months. During that time I decided I needed to downsize. I really did not need a big site will all kinds of "extra" stuff. After putting a lot of thought into it, a blogging platform is all that I really needed. So last year I reopened my site and this time I went with wordpress.

    The site serves 2 purposes - I post the stuff that I want and it acts like a portal for my forum. If I post an article on my forum, it gets pushed down the list and is buried. With my blog, its just me posting. I find that my blog is like a creative outlet. The more that I most, the more creative my content gets.

    I am always online reading everything I can about technology and computers. One day I read a post in one of my favorite website how he was earning through adsense. I didn't know before that I can earn online. I always thought that you need to have large amount of money to have a website. So I started researching how to make your own website and how to make money online, and the rest is history.

    Right now, I earn more from blogging/internet marketing than my day job (computer technician).

    I started a blog for 2 reasons: 1) for the heck of it, 2) to experiment with. :)

    I started just for fun to write "mini news" or something but always failed so I now started to write posts to promote my blog/ a few affiliate websites and inform people about some news affiliate related.

    Peer pressure. Almost everyone I know maintains and updates a blog. I gave in because I heard that I can make money through blogging. And I did.
