New Header

Tag: DesignJen @ 11:25 pm

I know it’s a little late, but I think it is still festive and makes you feel cold just by looking at it.

I have a new site out: 50 Years, A Love Story.

Done in Flash, Photoshop, and Fireworks, I must say that it is one of my better ones. I hate to toot my own horn (mainly b/c I know that there are guys and girls out there that blow me away), but I think I’ve come a long way since the old ChrisandJenn.net.

It’s late, I’m tired and I still have to read part of The Silver Chair. I’ll let you know how it goes.

You’re Welcome

“Ad Free since 05”

Doesn’t have much of a ring to it, but that’s okay.

If you haven’t noticed, ALL of Gooooooogle’s ads are gone. Even the Firefox one that would bundle the Goooooogle toolbar with a browser that already has a searchbar embedded.

Let’s face it. Ads are annoying. At least Gooooogle would allow the webmaster to make a little dough for helping spread the word. However, it just didn’t fit this site. Yeah, we earned a little money ($5.50) but you don’t get paid until you are owed $100. I guess it really only works for sites that attract a lot of users (this isn’t one) and users who are dumb enough to click on the Goooooogle ads (which we don’t again).

So, I have freed the chains of The Man (yes, even Gooooooogle is The Man sometimes) and we’ll continue to be ad-free (until it becomes profitable to place ads on here once again). So, go ahead, use the Search without being taken away from SR. Click on any link in the sidebar and you’ll be whisked away to a trusted place. Eventually, I’ll get a Firefox button on here to keep my “Does Not Validate” badge company so you can download the greatest browser in the history of the Multigalactic Al Gore-created Internet!

Again, I say, You’re Welcome.
