More Format Changes

Well, Google AdSense is gone from my blog. I made a whopping $1.17 in the six months it was here: at that rate, my estate would get a check for $100 in 50 or 60 years. Not worth the bandwidth ...

The other thing that just annoyed me to no end about it was the ads they place. Anytime I blogged some negative comment about PETA they'd place an ad for the group on my page. True, I could block it via their service, but I couldn't block sites I'd never heard of until they appeared. And as often as I blog on religious topics, I was getting too many ads from Christian wingnuts displaying here to ever manage to keep up my blacklist. So, away it goes...

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
