I do now. Using WordPress and other open source tools, I run a web server that was 100% configured by me. In fact, the only part of my entire website that I did not do myself was my logo. I cannot draw, otherwise I would have done that myself, too (grin).<\/p>\n<p>My web server can handle 200 web page hits a second and easily send out 10,000 emails in an hour. My incoming email handler lets maybe one spam email get through a week. In other words, this is a state of the art web server. Thanks to WordPress and the other software packages I used, I paid zero dollars in software licensing fees.<\/p>\n<p>Intrigued? Come to my presentation at the Albuquerque WordCamp to learn more about how I did it and what lessons I learned along the way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2012.albuquerque.wordcamp.org\/session\/flying-high-making-a-living-blogging-about-model-airplanes\/\">WordCamp Session<\/a>\u00bb | <a href=\"https:\/\/2012.albuquerque.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/#carlos-reyes\">Speaker Profile<\/a>\u00bb | <a href=\"http:\/\/rcadvisor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Speaker Website<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Post by Albuquerque WordCamp Speaker Carlos Reyes My web pages and videos are now getting about 40,000 views a month.
