So you likely have noticed some changes to the blog. I found a couple of WordPress plug-ins I liked and updated the theme to a more recent release of the same theme I had been using. I visualize some more changes coming but not sure what yet. On the positive side, in general, WordPress allows for very easy configuration. I added that visitors in motion globe in about 30 seconds. The joewear store was a little more involved as I had to tweak both the widget for a small issue I found in it when for whatever reason it did not pull the price from the store and to make it fit the theme properly. The color of the background of the thumbnail is annoying to me but I think that would involve making changes on the actual joewear store to correct. Anyway, I told cafepress to put everything on sale so it should all be more value minded now.
So now you can rate the posts, I do recommend it, that way I have a clue what you all think and it is easier than commenting. I also have a new plugin that allows you to highlight something and post on other social sites quickly if you so choose.
Back to the visitors in motion globe though… That is so cool. I saw it on another site and thought… I have to have it!
I am thinking about putting google adwords along the right side? Thoughts? I have always avoided ads but if I can figure out a way to not make them annoying, maybe I will see if it can useful to me.

I think you should go for the ads. At this point your tools have been downloaded so many times it would be hard to start charging and making any real money. I hope people do leave donations but in this down economy I’m guessing donations are down so if you can make a few bucks on the side for all your hard work then I see nothing wrong with that.
I stole the globe too
Thanks
