As a blogger and a web developer, I will often times do both of these things at once. An example of that is my FAQ on Background Checks. I checked reputable sources to put this information together and I used jQuery and CSS for design and effects. There are commercialized inbound and outbound links on the faq for background checks which implement different effects using CSS and JavaScript libraries. One example of this is the advertisement for a Background Check Superstore called . That web page alone is just an advertisement with special web design effects but there is a link to the FAQ for background checks.
I have articles which are not on my own web site as well. This includes articles I've written on HubPages as well as different blogging platforms like Blogspot, sites.google.com, as well as various forums which I participate in. This is an article I wrote about passing the road test.
Although I have no experience babysitting, not long ago I decided to write an article making suggestions to people who are new to babysitting. It might sound like I don't have any business doing this in the first place, but of course I made sure to do my homework before doing so. If you wanted to you could read this article I wrote and critique it. Writing articles on topics you're not interested in pursuing can be a growing experience and for professional purposes, its good discipline.
