My thanks tonight go to Carol, Nirjhari, Michelle, Courtney, Debora, Nancy, and Amy for their donations, and to everyone over the past two days who’ve joined us. Welcome and have a great time! Update: And Crystal too! Thanks!

Where are my manners? April sent me a nice donation yesterday and I forgot to thank her! Thank you, April! Thanks also to all of the monthly subscribers.

I want to thank all the people who share my posts via Facebook and Twitter (and any other ways). Please, please keep doing that. Not only does it grow the audience for this blog, it helps me learn what sort of posts and photos you really enjoy, which makes it easier to cynically pander to you like the craven bootlicker that I am.

After a consultation with a very nice person at Google, I have changed the locations and sizing of the ads on this site. Mobile users may see changes as well. I am hoping that this will improve my earnings while not interfering with your enjoyment of the site.

The Google rep encouraged me to insert ads within the articles, as many other sites do, but I resisted this as I find it annoying. I plan to leave this in place for a few weeks to see if it helps, and I welcome your comments and suggestions.
