Site News

Some of you may have noticed that there's a new addition to Intellectual Poison. After initially being rejected by Google AdSense for not being cool enough, they reconsider or relaxed their requirements and I was invited to join the club of blogs with adverts on them.
I'm still playing around with the configuration and may end up even switching templates to better accomodate the additions. That and the site's ready for an update anyway.

So yeah, Intellectual Poison is now attempting to pay its own way and generate a little income via click throughs but I don't expect that the ads will be very obtrusive at all, if they become a distraction then I'll just opt out of the program, no biggie. This is a concept I think I want to import over to the Cheddar X (which'll have new questions up as soon as I'm done here) because that'll mean that it can support itself and that means its own domain and web space.

I'm still considering moving to a better blog engine but have my reservations about MuNu (sorry, Jim, I know you want us all to move over) and the spam bot attacks on Movable Type aren't especially appealling. We'll see, this is working decently for now but I'd love to integrate comments and a few other slick features that some of the other places have built in.
