Google Adsense Program

I started using Adsense last year on my blog to try to cover the costs of my webhosting. I’m glad I did. I’ve made a little over a grand this year just implementing it on 7milesdown. Not too bad if you ask me. I’ve been able to purchase a legitimate copy of photoshop for my graphics, buy a couple DVD’s, and still had enough left over to pay for my hosting and domain name. Anyone who owns a blog should have this service implemented. It works, its free, its legit, and google does pay on time. I have not tried Yahoo’s version of their ad services yet, but I heard it works just as well.

Google has also upgraded their search program via adsense as well. Googles embedded search on your blog used to take visitors away from your site to get search results. Now the results appear within your site to keep visitors within your page. I think this is a great update and Im planning on implementing it here on 7milesdown in the near future.

The Season of Lent

Im no longer a practicing catholic, but I do try to follow the guidelines for Lent. What did you give up for Lent? This year I gave up Rice and Beer. Its gonna be a tough 45 days for me. Every Asian knows that rice is a must with your meals. Beer? Its gonna be tough drinking water while watching my friends pound away.

Catching up with Themes

Well, I’ve always wanted to play with Kiwi. Now that its Final I decided to give it a go. Seems like it has a great many features to check out. No wonder April used it for so long! Im not even sure where to begin. There were also a couple of other themes that were in Beta that look really good now. Gah! Im not sure what to do!
