We’ve never given Cameron money. He’s always had to earn his own funds. I don’t know that he’s all that financially astute even now. I don’t know that I am, either. But at 16 he’s a rockin’ web programmer who can build you a quality product. It will be interesting to see if he can build a good business from his skills.

<\/a>In the mean time, though, Cameron wants to earn more money, and I want to help him. So if you scroll down the sidebar, you’ll see his ad, an offer to build a WordPress weblog from scratch and host it for a year for $500. He knows how to build a blog our way — he builds many of ours already — and I’ll be riding herd on him to make sure he delivers on his promises. I think he’s priced pretty aggressively — say so if you disagree.<\/p>\n
