Apparently I’m not the first blog owner to sell.

Jim Romanesko apparently sold his “way back when” for an unpublished amount of money, and he became a paid writer at PointerOnline.

I’d hate to split hairs. It sounds like Jim was brought on staff and the blog came with him, but ultimately I’m quite happy to concede I’m not the first. It takes some of the pressure off. The reporters have changed my byline or whatever from “probably the first” to “a pioneer”. Whatever, I’m just happy blogging’s going to get some attention.
