So you don't have any other real job? Can you actually live off blogging?

How do you guys get paid? A certain amount per article or a set monthly "salary"?

Just curious

Page views I believe. I posted for Weblogs Inc's FanHouse for a while and it was a certain dollar amount per post, but I believe the rumor mill lately has been that they're getting paid based on page views. There's both good and bad in that idea... the best bloggers should get more money than others who simply post a lot; however, it also creates an incentive to post flame bait which attracts tons of hits and comments.

I think Justins my fav writer on Joystiq. He's the funniest one for sure and without even reading who wrote a certain story I can pretty much tell its him.

"as you can tell with a quick Google Image Search, I love exercising."

Gold :D

Great idea, it's nice to be able to put a face to your work.

@voodoo_craig: Hence my face being my avatar. People assume I am a man when I don't put my face there, as if "Saria" was a man's name. And, sadly, people STILL address me as a male even when my face IS my avatar, so what does that say about my dashing feminine looks?

@ Saria, that must be preferable to the alternative: "yu iz hot, wana cybr?"

On an unrelated note, I think your avatar and choice of name are both attractive ;)

Some of us enjoy these kind of things and do give a shit about the people we interact with around here.

If you didn't intend to be rude then it must be said that you chose some pretty poor words with which to submit your question.

This is actually a pretty cool idea. Of course, if you disagree then you can always skip over the post.

No one's forcing you to give a shit about it. Next time you see something like "Meet the Team: Justin McElroy", just move on if you're not interested. See how easy that can be?

Does seem a little filler-tastic. Kind of like those endless summary posts and the summary-of-other-blogs posts.

Nice to "meet" you, Justin!

I'm from Ashland myself and used to read those video game reviews in the Herald Dispatch when I was a bit younger. I was really wondering who you were after that GTA IV release story taking place down in Pullman Square.

Anyways, good luck and perhaps I'll run into you sometime back home.

I love Ashland. I did a study "abroad" program near Ashland last semester. I'd love to go there again. Hanging out in Zoey's Ice Cream... oh man, memories.
