This is more of a "management" post. So, here's the deal: I moved from Wordpress to Blogger. I did this for a couple of reasons, the main one being I finally took my own advice and decided to make money off of my words. If you came up to me and asked me on the street if YOU should put ads on your blog and make money off of your writing, I might slap you for having to even ask me. "Someone would pay you for doing what you are ALREADY DOING? GO FOR IT. Ride that pony til she dies!"
Now, if you happen to be one of those people who gets offended by blog ads (or incontinence ads, because I suspect I will get a lot of those since I write a lot about how I pee myself when happy/sad/scared/wanting to get out of a meeting) you need to switch to Firefox (instead of internet explorer or whatever you use now.) Then you need to install on Firefox an Add-on called Adblock Plus. (It can be found here.) And you will no longer see ads. And I won't make any money off of you. And then you can just go home and sip on some more of your hater-aide.
What made me decide to put ads up? Well, a couple of factors. It's nice to be paid for what I do, sure. Everyone likes free money too. But me? I am not going to spend a dime of it. I am going to use the money (even if it ends up being something like 3 dollars Canadian) to fund a trip to Peru in February 2012. I will be visiting some of my friends down there, and you can read about who they are and what they are doing here. And you can make a tax deductible donation by clicking here.
In other news, I am aware that my "Are You New Here" links are not working properly (thank you Becca!) as well as some serious coding issues around pictures with captions (thank you Nia!) I am working on getting everything fixed as soon as I can. Then we can all get back to our regularly scheduled debauchery that this blog is known for.
