Corrupted code finally fixed — site rolling again

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Wow. The site is working again in both IE and Firefox. And the code is validated.

Next on the agenda (after I completely back-up the newly fixed and validated files) is to do some more design work. Some neatening. Some simplifying.

- Going to cull down the “Sections” display to less than a dozen key categories.

- Going to replace the Google Adsense ads with targeted affiliate network ads and my own offerings as I roll them out. Going to experiment with ad placement, as well.

Completely dropping Google Adsense as a revenue model since it is only paying a few cents per click on website-served ads. That is the result of a Google policy change made last November. Hopefully it will kill all those spam “scraper” sites that are clogging the search engines. But it also makes it pretty pointless from a business sense for legitimate sites to run Google ads.

- May widen the sidebar columns a bit (and narrow the main content column to compensate) so the sider columns are more content friendly.

All underway and changes should be visible within a week or two.

They were dismissed as snake oil. As nothing but 30 percent alcohol.

Or 40 percent alcohol.

Or 70 percent alcohol.
