Squeamish about ads
I seem to have lost all squeamishness about ad placement. But do tell me if it’s intrusive. I figured information about myself is not so important, so I stuck it at the way bottom of the sidebar. I also thought my goals were very important, so those went to the very top.
One reason my blogroll is very short is that I like sites that are designed well. I make very few exceptions for busy looking web pages, i.e too much sidebar content. The ones that I think look too busy or distracting are on the list because their content is actually very good and too useful to ignore. Or else I just think they are nice people deserving of exposure.
Lots of advertisements can get in the way of a good design. I hope I’ve picked ads and colors that fit well into the dot template I’ve chosen. If I were really good, I know I’d put the sidebar on the right, but alas, I am not so good at web design. When I mess it up, I go to a friend’s site which uses the same template and fix it from his source code.
If anyone out there would like to be added to the blogroll, please let me know. I’ll also be adding an RSS feed of some sort soon if I can figure out which feed service/counter is best. (I know ATOM is already used by Blogger, I’m still figuring this all out.) I am open to suggestions!
