Lately I’ve been trying to make a little side income writing at Infobarrel – it’s one of those revenue-sharing sites where you help provide decent content to earn search engine love for the site overall, and they let you share some ad space on their pages to earn a little cash. I’m not very good at it so far because I’m constitutionally incapable of cranking out volumes of keyword-targeted product-centric fluff pieces, but overall I’ve found the community there to be friendly and helpful – a bunch of nice people trying to eek out a little extra from the InterTubes.
Yesterday I posted my first article there about atheism. I don’t know if it will even get noticed, but I’m curious what the reaction there will be if it does. A number of the IB regulars have openly expressed strong religious leanings, so it will be interesting to see what kind of reactions I get. It’s nothing that should be too controversial – just a brief discussion of the misconception that atheists think the divine has been disproved, and an overview of the “Dawkins scale” of disbelief – but often it doesn’t take much to get people riled up.
