Did you know that there is a Sydney Bloggers Festival on at the moment? Well, there surely is. It finishes tomorrow. I'd prolly never go to such a thing, but I'm curious about it, and am happy that such a thing exists. Just in case I did want to go.

Today is apparently the 'Her-Story' day--

Part of the Sydney Bloggers Festival, the “Her-Story” day looks at the phenomenon of Australian women who blog, and will showcase and discuss 3 broad areas:

1. Professional female bloggers (full time paid blogger-journalists and bloggers who run businesses via their own site/blog)
2. Pro-Am female bloggers (some revenue from blogging)
3. “Hobby” bloggers (blogging for “the love of writing”, influence, therapy, sanity and issues that are covered by mainstream media)

I'm not sure what Pro-Am female bloggers are, but I gather they probably the ones who really like AM radio, and so there their blogs are very serious and news-worthy, with interesting discussions and links to classical music (mainly cello) clips on youtube. That'd be my guess.

Also interestingly, I read some high falootin' blogger say that the question on every bloggers' lips is 'how do you make money from this?'

I was stunned, it was like she was reading my mind. I know that's what I'm mainly hitting for here. For me it's always chiefly been about the sweet, sweet coin. So, I thought this would be a timely juncture to announce that there will now be a fee for all Monday Quiz participants.

But don't worry, you don't need to fill out any forms or anything. I have taken it upon myself (I'm good that way) to seek out your bank details, and will just automatically draw out the required sum each Monday. You'll hardly even notice it. Though you might want to hold off on booking that holiday, and instead ask your boss for a lil' bit of overtime. Just to be on the safe side.
