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>.

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.
