Jason Kottke is quitting his job in order to blog full time. He hopes to support himself through reader donations.
First, let me tell you what won't change. The content on kottke.org will always be freely available to everyone who visits, regardless of whether you have contributed or not. No special "member" content or services. Think of kottke.org as non-crippled, fully-supported shareware...you only pay if you feel it's worth supporting.If he succeeds it won't necessarily mean that others can do the same thing - since he is so much more popular than the "average" blogger - but if he can't make it work then most likely no one else can either. Or, in other words, he's the man for the job, and I guess we will all soon find out if no advertisement reader supported blogs are in any way possible. Good luck Jason!
