Some of us have found this to be a pretty darned cool hobby. I don't plan on getting rich with it, but down the road it would be nice to have a bit of mad money dropping in.

You will seriously work hard, but you will learn a lot of skills that will help you in other ways, like how to build a website, a bit of CSS and other techie things. Would I walk away? Nope. Been back almost a year now and still loving it. Is it my primary job? Heck no, nor do I expect it to be.

Now, if I weren't putzing around here, I would probably just be watching tv or eating bonbons. Which is healthier? Entertaining the mind, or vegetating?
