School year has ended but summer class has started as well. Good to bump in your site. The point you made in textbooks “Ask the upper grade students if they are willing to sell or maybe even give you their old textbooks.’ .. this usually happens in public schools (like a government school) where books are not free and it usually took years before the school decides to use a newer version of the book.. In the long run, younger students can still “rent” or buy the old textbooks that the older students had.

Thank you the great ideas for me to save money. I do try to buy use books but some are harder to find than others.

Fitz have you done a story on kids blogging? I let my have a blog and last year it paid for here shoes LOL. I do supervise it. It all helps.

Sure, I’ll do an article on that as soon as I can.

A feed is free, you don’t have to pay anything to adsense. And eCPM is effective cost per 1000 impression, it’s the average earning which you get for every 1000 impression on your site.

I’m new to blogging and new to adsense. I know very little about computers and I do not understand most of the terms. So I thought I’d just ask you, if I put a feed (whatever that is) on by blog, will I have to pay adsense? What is page eCPM? There’s an amount underneath it in my adsense report and it’s in dollars. I’m a little scared that I might be incurring debts without knowing it. God forbid.

Thanks a lot. I do appreciate your sharing with us newbies the secrets to your blogging success.
