		<title>Calculating Your Worth as a Blogger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is no magic calculator that will tell you how much your blogging services are worth.  We each have an interdependent relationship with money that is uniquely our own.  The $7.50 you just earned for that 500-word blog post might be worth your time.  Or not.
