I know a lot of people who think that you aren't a real blogger if you can't make a living of it. Or that you need at least 100 followers to be a blogger. It's one of the biggest pieces of nonsense I've ever encountered in my life - and believe me, I've seen and heard a lot of nonsense in the past 19 years, 2 months and 16 days.
