Support Idle Words - Become A Macropatron!

Recently Jason Kottke made news by leaving his job to become a full-time blogger, supported by volunteer contributions from his readers, or 'micropatrons'.

Inspired by his example, I have decided to try my own hand at exploring new funding models for online writing. If you've enjoyed visiting this site over the years, please consider becoming the Idlewords.com macropatron!
