I thought I would take advantage of the blogger re-launch and incorporate comments powered by blogspot. Then I changed my template, then an hour drifted past. I almost forgot to re-incorporate the Nedstat Counter. (Still trying to beat 38 page downloads, December 8, 2003!)
I think I am okay with it. But for some reason, the imposed banner stands out more. Why is that? Maybe because it has some weird words in it, as I write this it says: "Related Searches: Bozo, Bozo the Clown." It may be different when you (6 people) read this.
Of course, you can pay $15 a year to google and remove that banner. That is hardly tempting. However, if it were only $5, I would think 10x more people would go for it. Reminds me of shareware. I don't mind paying for someone else's work, but a lot of shareware authors think they can get $20 or more for their neat utility. I either pay for it, or don't use it. Which is why I am also a fan of completely free software or games. A decent freeware site is No Nags which offers a huge collection of freeware software (not even shareware, and no nag-ware). Of course, many of the links get outdated, but if you join the premium club ($$$), then you have no more broken links. Right. Also, to search for free games, search for "Abandoned Games." Plenty of crap-ish abandoned software out there...
So, I can stick with the banner, even a bozo banner. Maybe if I change the background color to make it blend in...

Yes, that does mean that ALL previous comments are lost to the ether...
Maybe that looks better, the banner's HEX code was #003062... blends in much better. Thanks to GIMP, a GNU image utility... Yeah, I like GNU stuff, too.
