Working on the site

Jan 27, 2006 by Mike Browne in Hmmmmmm
I've been playing around with a new skin for the site. Heck Carol can't have one and I not. Anyway, its different but the same and no I'm not switching back. I was so friggin' bored with the way it looked I had to do something, plus I'm adding some google adsense ads in the third column (now empty) to make a couple of extra dollars per month. If I make enough for the site to pay for itself (now about $15 bucks a month) I'll be happy. The colours are the same but I think that's going to change too eventually.

UPDATE: Yep Al, a click brings me a percentage of a penny I do believe. So click once or twice a day if you like. Or not, they're not overly offensive and are somewhat targeted (according to Google) to site content. The only reason I even considered it is because I've used them on other sites.

UPDATE 2: Up for less than 24 hours with 5 clicks (thanks folks) I have made $1.01. If everyone who came here (an average of 1100 people) every day clicked once or twice a day I could do this full time. Conversely 5 clicks through to the Amazon.ca brings nothing, however, if you do your shopping searching through my link I get paid a percentage in Amazon.ca gift certificates. I think it takes a long time to earn anything but oh well. I'll use the space that way for now until I have my own DVD's to sell.

Go completely radical. Colour change, font - the whole bit. This looks too much like the old one, just with everyting flipped around. Throw Mrs. Browne's TV Dinner in there somewhere.

What was wrong with the old one? It was easy to read and to navigate. This one's pretty good too...don't go changing it too radically...I'll get lost!
