It’s fun to watch people within our community talk about other people within our community, right? It has a flavor of inception, doesn’t it? No, I’m just playing. Jeff Chandler from WPTavern spent some time with the guys over at Dradcast recently and shared his thoughts and perspectives about being bought by Matt (and him being his new boss) as well as monetizing a blog (among other things).
