The Gnome Project

The Gnome Project, is a project designed to let bloggers tell their readers that they are
a.) serious about blogging
and
b.) that blogging is an important revenue stream for them.
It's kind of like a secret handshake that just lets the reader know a little more about the blog without even having to read a word.
You'll notice that on the sidebar of this blog there is a little Gnome. Take this little Gnome, and post it into the sidebar of your own blog. Explain to you readers what it means, and eventually it will sink in. If a reader sees the gnome he will know that you are serious. If another blogger sees the gnome he will know that you are serious. And if that gnome is there, it might encourage them to support you through a PayPal donation.
I could be totally off on this whole gnome thing, but it seemed like a good idea.
