A Question for You

When I started this blog, I concerned myself only with writing something that mattered to me and the people who shared my profession. It was a place for me to express myself and share what I know.

It was also a place where I could read the reactions and comments of my colleagues, and hear other perspectives. I have learned more from this blog than I ever dreamt possible, thanks to the intelligent and informed readership.

Recently, my son noticed my blog and asked why I didn't have any ads or other forms of promotion on it. I told him it didn't interest me to do so. He went on to explain that if I wanted the blog to grow and progress, it would be smart to add some things like banners and advertising, to develop it into a more official site.

I love my boy, and the fact that he wants to work with me to make my blog become more popular and savvy is exciting. It's like a project we can share, which doesn't happen often now that he's a teenager.

My question to you, dear reader, is what do you think? Would you be bothered by a few inconspicuous banners or advertising? Your opinion matters the most, so I will seriously consider whatever you have to say on the subject.
