Given the boundless dedication, the work without end, and the Faith unto our Lord who art in Heaven, we too can (at least metaphorically) be the 3rd-string quarterback for the New England Patriots.

So what's our problem? The blind navigate the length of the Yukon River. The legless run marathons. Octogenarians ascend Mount Everest.

You absolutely can, indeed, make a commercial go of a WordPress news website, such as WPTavern. You could ... if, given, thus and therefore.

Just like you could reprise the accomplishments of Tim Tebow.

The hold-up on a lot of these things that potentially or theoretically 'could' be, is of course that they're in competition for the available dedication, work & faith, with other alternative venues & avenues ... which our judgment & circumspection tell us will yield a richer harvest, for the talents & gifts we have to put into our chosen undertaking.

We could bear down and create more commercial WP news sites. But for the same investment, more of us will achieve more and go farther (and better serve our Higher Power), by devoting ourselves to one or another of the non-commercial approaches.
