This is an option that can never exist, because the moment you start writing <em>quality content<\/em>, your blog or website starts generating interest, and you&#8217;re adding towards your <a href=\"http:\/\/factoryjoe.com\/blog\/2005\/12\/30\/my-google-resume\/\">Google Resume<\/a>. Invariably, you will receive compensation, indirectly even, based on what you come up with.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5 of 6. Wow, conflicts of interest. Of course this blog contains that &#8211; someone pays my crust, so there&#8217;s no telling why I won&#8217;t be writing about working there. But in the open source world, my conflicts of interest also lie in the projects that I favor. Which again, brings me back to the question: how do blogs not contain a conflict of interest? You&#8217;re bound to want to write about something that interests you. I do find the 4th option rather interesting, but <em>very tedious<\/em> to fill out.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, I too now have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/disclosure-policy\/\">disclosure policy<\/a>.
