    In some of my posts, I include affiliate links. This is an effective way for me to generate a little bit of revenue to offset the costs of running this site, at no extra cost to you, and without showing annoying ad banners. I only link to products that I either already own, or would buy and use myself. I do not make a profit on this site.
