OK - I give up. Where's the ad? Or have I just fallen for some inside joke?

Sidebar, no?

Under the Mencken quote and stuff.

Cripes. Never mind: my firewall was blocking it. There it is, bigger than a Shi'ite.

I went, and made a purchase.

But I have a complaint: The blogad here is blocking part of Kim Richards' head. That can't be allowed. So I'm turning my firewall back on, but let me know next time there's a blogad I need to see.

wow! Thanks, Patton.

I just put in some space between the ad and Kim Richards.

I don't think it was blocking her head, though. I think the picture just crops that out.

Just got me some penguins!

The link didn't work for me.

By the by, you can set up as an amazon associate all on your own. You don't get paid for the space, but you do if someone clicks through your site and purchases something at Amazon.

Cha-ching.

I don't know. Does the Baby Jesus approve of penguins? They're kind of creepy when they all line up like that. They're like the kids from Village of the Damned. Except they have feathers. And wings. And they can hold their breath for a really long time.

I always get a kick that you started this blog because

1. To show Willis how lame he is
and
2. To pull in filthy lucre from a fricking BLOG.

You act like you're joking, but I know another greedy soul when I see one. When my PayPal issues are resolved, help will be on the way.

Scout,

Yeah, that's the next step. I hate to be such a stupid little greedy dick about things, but I need to find some way to, ahem, monetarize this stupid fucking blog o' mine.

I never said I was joking. Just because I say it humorously doesn't mean it's not 100% true.

I also meant what I said about selling out. I am in love with the idea of selling out.

I'm just waiting for someone to actually ask me to.

sissoed,

Thanks so much! Actually, the cards are kinda cute.

The cards are great. I'm sending them to all my subscribers.

Because unlike SOME people I know, I MONETIZE my site. And I have everyone else do all the work for me, too.

Christ, Ace, let me put together an affiliate program for you. It'd kill.

Oops, that last one was me. As if you didn't know.

Yes, I knew it was you, Cal.

Cal, of course I'd love it if you put together an affiliate program for me. I don't know what you'd do that would be special, but then, I don't know anything about such things.

Monetize, right. Couldn't let that go, huh? Bitch. (g)

Awwwww, that (g) was sweet. I don't think you've ever called me "bitch" as a joke before.

Seriously, why not ask questions about it at the World? I can't cope with the comments in a blog for too long; I get freaked out. Go to the Building a Forum thread--not because I'm trying to get you to build a forum, but because that's where I answer questions about it. Or ask in your thread.

Oh, and honest to god, I didn't notice "monetarize". I swear. I was just emphasizing the fact that I make money from my site, and I keep telling you how to, dammit.
