P.Allen,
ReplyDeleteFirst I respect the time you put into this blog to better educate the general population on what day to day life is like living with sickle cell disease. Most would not get this kind of insight unless it happened to them personally. Being featured as a Top Health Blogger I'm sure let you know you were making a difference too.
I have some friends interested in a possible small advertising agreement with you (JRSmedical). Something as simple as a simple hyperlink, or even as a "Medical Resource" in the navigation of the page. They are a small company so they can only offord $10 a year or a one time fee of $50. They are also interested in guest posting on your blog from time to time on any topic you wish if you allow one small hyperlink at the bottom of the blog that links back to them.
Let me know what options exist. Either way,keep up the hard work!! By the way, if you ever want to guest post at my "Medical Noise" website let me know and I will be happy to post anything up for you.
Thanks Jason for your kind comments. I will think about advertising and I'll let you know about that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I do have important information coming that I would like you to post on your blog. More info coming soon. Thanks
