Pardon The Additional Ads

...but $350 per month on BlogAds just wasn't working for me.

I know, I know... if you're doing it for money you shouldn't be doing it at all. But I don't buy that. I'm a Republican. If I could figure out a way to get paid watching old episodes of Simon & Simon I'd do it.

I'm going to be adding a second sidebar to the site shortly. I know that some asked me not to, but for most of you, you're viewing this on bigger resolutions, and the whole right side of the page is just blank anyway. The page will expand to fill up your browser-area.

For the 10% of you on 800 x 600 resolutions, the site will still have 480 pixels-width of main text area, which is only a little smaller than the old set up (which used to be a little less than 600 pixels of main text area). Margins will be a little smaller to help keep the page from being too long for those on lower-resolutions.

When I can figure out how to do it I'm going to ad top headlines in the sidebar too-- not my most recent posts, but the top headlines of the day. I don't link a lot of interesting stories because I don't have anything to say about them; but once I get the top headlines up and running, I'll pretty much be linking every interesting story I come across. So the site will, I hope, better serve as a first-read newsite. There'll be the normal blogging in the main area, and then a Drudge-linke run-down of other headlines on the side.

The extra ads are annoying, I know, but I'll also be taking this blogging-thing a little more seriously with more money from it coming in. So, you know, there is that.
