I have a blog which is actually no more than a Picasa Web Album, which has a clunky feel on my moble computor, and I do not like its “user-friendliness quotient” very much, although it’s more “OK” on a pc. I do not like that my “splash page” postings and title seem irreversible, not changeable. And I do not know if I can remove some blogs that I previously elected to “feed” to mine, some of which turn out to open to nothing.I created a new blog (Blogger) and added Adsense “to make money”, but before I posted anything at all it had a military ad which I notified Adsense (or Blogger, whichever) to remove it. It seems they did, but I lost interest and the new blog xLowrider-Times / Hate Crime Review sits empty. I should care about “making money with ads”, perhaps, but I want my involvement to be simpler and free of a monetary relationship. Maybe I should not complain since Blogger is free, but I do want a real site and maybe I can get up the scratch someday… I found this site looking for “Free blog ads”…I like the idea of the banner for an ad free blog. Maybe I will go with that. Good luck to you with your site/blog.

ah, yes, the blogging equivalent of the sanctimonious "please consider the environment - do you really need to print this email."

a good sentiment i guess, but a general rule is ad sense = traffic obsession = shite content.

it seems hilarious and sad to think about the untold dollars google makes off ad sense--worse to think about people who believe the ability to put ads on their content makes it any good when in reality the program is totally unrelated to quality. sort of gives a false economy to people's online lives, and, increasingly, their real lives.

keep up the good work.
