Nothing Like A Good Tune-Up…
…And blogs are no exception. Today, I upgraded Blogimus Prime to WordPress 2.1.2. Unlike previous WP upgrades, this one really did go over in five minutes like their old slogan preached. I think it was the fifth or sixth time I’ve done an upgrade, so perhaps I’m getting smooth in my ‘old age’.
Of course, I knew that I had to upgrade all of my Plug-Ins afterwards, as well as fixing the code for my Blogroll. There’s a couple more bells and whistles now, but I’m most happy to announce that I have finally rid the blog of the aesthetically displeasing Google ads. They really served no purpose and are never going to pay off (unless I get a $100 check in the year 2043), so I gave them the heave-ho.
I’m hoping for a few more visual upgrades soon. However, I’m months behind on several upgrades all around the Sahm site index, so it’s probably best I don’t make you any promises… other than my usual serving of juxtapositional philosophy, that is. Cheers.

The $0.39 per month from Adsense wasn’t getting you where you wanted to go?
Heh heh. You have to envy those Googlelites… Adsense was an ingenious concept.
On one hand, you have web businesses paying for ads to show up when people mention specific keywords. Yet these ads end up on personal blogs. Just because I mentioned ‘wedding’ in a post, will visitors click a link for a wedding photographer? Not a chance, and thus the businesses just put money into Google’s pocket.
Then, on the other hand, think of how many people had these dumb ads on their webpages hoping to reach the payoff threshold, but never ever will. They also put money in Google’s pocket. Ingenious.
I didn’t think the Google ads were very distracting. When you get around to upgrading WordPress on MJR will you take those ads off too?
