That all depends on how smart you are. If you're going to let people take advantage of that than it's not a very wise strategy.

Agreed. But in the same sense, if you love what you do you are doing what you love.

I'd check out Pelican - http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/

Thanks. I wanted to design something very minimal and content focused. Still a work in progress but it's getting there.

This is Ireland. More information here: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/employment_r...

I built the blog using jekyll, a static site generator. (http://jekyllrb.com/)

Still working on improving it but it's allowed me to dynamically generate tag and category pages as well as a few other neat things. That and it's seriously lightweight.

Exactly. When I first started there I was earning a "training" wage. As someone under the age 16 I started out earning roughly €6.00 an hour.

After that I progressed to minimum wage(€8.65) and before I left I was earning €10 an hour.

I completely agree. Money is still very important and should also be a priority. If you are adding a lot of value to the company you work for then you should be paid accordingly and rewarded for your efforts.

My point here was that if you're focusing more on what you do and less on what you're being paid, then the latter should become a much easier thing to achieve.
