Disclosure policy

I’ve been approved by payperpost to write about products and services for them. This is very cool. Since I’m here talking about stuff, and they pay people to talk about stuff, it seems like a win/win situation to me. They’ve even provided me with a nifty tool so that I can make sure that you, my vast reading public, understand that sometimes I will be paid for blogging. Here’s my disclosure policy:

There now! Do we all understand each other? Seems very clear to me, but you may have questions. If so, post a comment on the current days post and I’ll answer it.

All of my payperpost blog posts will be tagged as such, just like this one.
