That was a strange comment (in bold.) It's possible for a person make money in OTHER ways. Plenty of people have real jobs and whatnot and still manage to run a blog. Or maybe he does have a trust fund. Who cares? I, as just some random person on the internet, am not too concerned about where Josh gets his money.
EasyWDW has a forum section, and I've seen plenty of people there giving Josh feedback fairly often. He has also posted numerous times on his site that a better layout is in the works. He is well aware of things that need to be re-worked. I've been following his blog for almost a year now. With no future trip to WDW coming up, I still enjoy reading the blog all the time.
I think one reason I enjoy his blog is because it just seems different than others I've read. His point of view seems more fresh or something. I also enjoy the massive amount of photos he posts in each blog entry. I've read the TP blog quite a few times and it just seems like a lot of the same regurgitated 'info' I've seen a million times before with a small smattering of photos (often those photos aren't even taken by the person writing the blog.) So to me, that's just another way EasyWDW stands out from the pack of Disney bloggers.
But I suppose I've veered off track since this thread is about crowd calendars and not the actual blog aspect. Ha! Just wanted to post my point of view even though I know it's much different than many people. I'm sure many people feel the exact same way about other Disney blog sites, and that's perfectly fine too. Everyone has their own preferences.
I know plenty of people can run blogs and have other jobs, but if Josh really goes to the parks every day for daily updates, eventually the blog will have to be profitable, because that kind of daily commitment is huge. I'm not concerned with where Josh gets his money. I just gave some feedback and it wasn't well taken by a Josh fan.
I think the volume on posts on this thread has caused mine to lose context. I was merely responding to someone who got offended because I suggested I'd find easyWDW more appealing if there was a redesign. She basically suggested I was rude because the site is free and that I might consider paying for a web designer for him. Obviously she was defending him where no defense was needed, because it's clear now that even he wants a redesign. So I was mostly responding to that poster.
Each person will find what they like in various crowd calendars.
