Hmm... mwahahaHAHA! er. yeah. never. Actually, what I was trying to get at was that the change of rules would have affected me. I couldn't care less what joe Google Searcher thinks of what I put here... It's my braindump. But, if I start altering it such that I'm trying to make a buck or two on what goes into this bit bucket, then that will start to alter what/how/when stuff gets published, making it less useful to me (although likely not making it any more/less useful to the Google masses).

That's the whole point, that you are not tied to even what you sermonized last year. Frankly you've done a lot of work to create a space that others visit, and if you can wrench a few cents out of some Google ads, go for it. Make a few microbucks. If it becomes too obtrusive, some will not return. I don't care since I browser by RSS, and would likley ignore any ads that gets blitzed to a sidebar. Just don't be shoving ads into RSS ;-) It’s your blog and you can do as you want to, you can change the rules at any time, and you drop the whole technology thing and devote your writing to posts about Spanish soap operas.

SO WHAT! the intetnet is inundated with that stuff anyways. so do your thing, but dont let it buy your soul. i say… who cares? the ads wont affect your work if you dont let it…i used to be apurist myself ie, advertising=the devil. however, not all marketers are evil, not all ads are evil, and furthermore you are not the devil (i think). so if you have ads on here… SO WHAT! the intetnet is inundated with that stuff anyways. so do your thing, but dont let it buy your soul.

My point was that I'm an obsessive personality with little impulse control, so once I opened the door to the Dark Side, there would be no turning back :-) Slick - thanks.
