I didn't know about all this. I'll be still doing reviews. I give the books away. I may keep the new Max Lucado book for kids though, it still would not amount to much of a $ amount, if I kept 5 books. Sounds like I just need to have a disclaimer on my blog...??? Plus an accountant! Glad I stopped by here. I didn’t know about all this. I’ll be still doing reviews. I give the books away.

I don't do any ads, but I just got asked to do a product review with a giveaway and I was so happy! I will probably go ahead since I already agreed to that one, then keep my original thing of no ads, etc. Because I just really don't want to bother with it! I didn't start blogging to make money, so why change now? :) I had no idea about all this..I’m glad I read it.

I agree "who's going to keep track" and I will say that I make little to no money from my blog...I have had the opportunity to do several giveaways, review some great products and many I do on my own just because I love the store or product. I always disclose if it is part of a campaign or just little ole me telling you I love something and I really don't plan to change that until someone bangs on my door and disconnects my internet for having fun with my blog! I have to go look at my sidebar...I am not sure that i have any ads on it these days but if I do I might think about following your lead and removing those (might take a target off our backs eh?)

I'll just do what I do and if they want to sue me, go for it. I hate all this picky little red tape stuff. I probably don't make $50 a year off my blog, so I'm sure I'm way too small potatoes for anyone to bother me about it. I think they're going to go after the big fish instead of little minnows like us. I’m not gonna worry about it. I’ll just do what I do and if they want to sue me, go for it.

First, I love your blog and that someone else calls their sons "the 3 boybarians." I thought I was so clever thinking that up, and apparently you're equally clever! Boys are awesome, aren't they? :-) The whole FTC thing. I won't get overly political in terms of my comments lest I start a pissing match on your beautiful blog. I'll just say that I see it as yet another way of Big Government taking every crumb they can from every person they can. No one can possibly keep up with all that stuff, and woe betide someone who tries and doesn't dot all the i's or cross all the t's when they get audited. On the plus side, I think it will allow more blogs to focus on real stuff instead of becoming nothing more than profit-centers. I keep unfollowing people on Twitter who were once interesting and now just hawk stuff trying to make a buck. It's disappointing and not what I look for in the blogosphere personally. Keep up the great work! I'll still be reading via Google Reader! Hi!

Love the fresh clean uncluttered look of your blog again. It's unfortunate that so many bloggers will be negatively affected by the new FTC rules. I must admit, however, that I have always preferred blogs that didn't have a bunch of advertising. Sidebars with book lists, favorite places, and helpful links, I love...but those with ads...Not so much. Stacy :-) (who is still on a bloggy break) Lovely family portrait!
