so maybe it’s not rolling stone …
Growing up, I always dreamed of one day being featured in Rolling Stone or Sports Illustrated. Ain’t happenin’. I’m not sure where The Wall Street Journal would have fit in, but I’m happy to be featured, albeit oh-so-minimally, in today’s newspaper in a section entitled Paygrade: Blogging for Web Sites.
