The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is looking to pass rules soon that affect how bloggers post certain links. 

When you use an “affiliate link” through this blog rather than, say, going to the site by typing the URL in your browser, that site sends me some kind of compensation for sending them the referral if you end up using their service.  The compensation is usually not enough to buy a cup of coffee, but a girl’s gotta have her dreams.

You always have the choice of going and typing a site URL into your browser instead of using the link on my site.  But, I hope you’ll use my affiliate link. 

That way, I can keep writing this blog instead of getting a job writing at “Popular Salamander.”

Mahalo for your patronage.
