Nuthin' 4 Sale

"Nuthin' 4 Sale"

means exactly what it says: there is nothing for sale here. This website was not

created to entice you into buying anything. There will be no ads, pop-up or otherwise. No one will

offer to add something to your "cart" --in fact we request that you leave your cart outside before

entering this site. There is no "inside information" that require

you to subscribe to access. I do

not keep track of who/how many people visit this site for marketing purposes. We are not soliciting

donations or gratuities of any kind. None of the organizations or businesses I endorse here have

been asked for any compensation in return. Any other sneaky kind of internet commerce you can

think of, we don't have.

Basically, it costs me $11.95 per month to build and operate this website. That's it. If I can't

handle that, I have far bigger problems than I could solve by making chump change selling

bumper stickers or T-shirts.

Besides, the spirit of the Fish Out Of Water Project is to be an offering of love to a world that

could use more of it, with no strings attached. It is a love of the process of dreaming up new ways

to communicate to the Spirit within you that motivates me. I lay down all self-motivated interest in

order to do this --make it about money and it automatically becomes something different,

something that is no longer just about love.

If I do publish something someday, like

The Peasant and The King,

I'll certainly make that known

and I'll let you know how you can purchase it from independent book sellers, but I will not sell it

here. I consider publishing and writing to be two separate endeavors --related, but separate--

and what I decide to publish will be between the book-making-people and me. The writing is for

you, and you only. And it is, and always will be, free.

The purpose for certifying this site as having "Nuthin' 4 Sale" is to (hopefully) inspire

YOU to take something you are passionate about and offer it to the world, without

motive for profit.

If I've succeeded in this effort, feel free to use the "Nuthin' 4 Sale" certification for any Internet-

based project you might have as well. There is no certification process; just adopt the provisions

and abide by them.

The only thing I'd ask is that you let me know you've done so and tell me

where I can find it --I'd be very curious to see what avenues this little aspect of FOOW.org could

travel down.

If you are interested in starting a website, there are many affordable options for hosting;

personally I went with Yahoo (

http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com

) because I was familiar with them

from my NCAA Basketball Tournament pool, and they have very easy-to-use site building tools

that require no HTML at all.
