If you find this blog helpful, enjoyable or valuable just remember that there's only one reason I can write this stuff. 

Coffee.

I'll do you a deal. I write because I enjoy it and I don't expect payment, but I'll create more content if you buy me a coffee. For every new steamy, yummy tankard of donated caffeinated joy I'll write a new blog. You can't get fairer than that.

Here's my PayPal tip jar (I'm pretty sure it's not even real money if you can't touch it...) or just share this blog with someone if you think it's worth it. Have a great day!
