Back to basics (again part 2)

Written by Lee Doyle on March 10, 2008 – 7:22 am

Yet again I have switched back to my basic template. It has changed a big and is even more basic this time but has a few more parts to it but quicker loading times.

I know you are probably asking yourself “You only JUST changed” and your right… The reason for the switch back is 3 reasons:

  1. Some users were unable to navigate around the website.
  2. It was eating bandwidth
  3. AdSense works better this way

Because of these (Mainly number 1) I thought it was best to switch back. I cant have people finding it to hard to get around this place because that is always a NO NO in web design.

I also wanted to get it working with AdSense better and the other design just would not work right and was so messy (And dark). I also wanted to try to fit some 125×125 buttons on the site as I have had some people ask for them but only had the 2 Project Wonderful images for sale (So now you can keep the spot).

I have put in some more bottom widgets which I will update by the end of next week to have some cool info. I may also put some more 125×125 buttons down there if these sell well (They would be cheaper).

So sorry for the change! It could not be helped…. I may go and stick the rotator in this template soon though as I know some of you liked that.

Am I destroying my blog?!

Written by Lee Doyle on March 5, 2008 – 2:13 pm


I have been getting into all these ads on my website the past week. I would not say I have made any money yet but it is slowly coming in. I know most of you will say “Just do not overdo it” and your right… But I find when you start to get into adverts you forget about the website and think more about prime locations and money… Which is not what I want to do.

Do you think I am overdoing it with adverts? I have the Project Wonderful and Adbrite at the moment… I have only had AdBrite for 24hs and already made more money on that then PW ever made me… So maybe ill just switch to that soon… But then again PW does give a lot of my readers a easy cheap way to get ads on here…. Humm

DO you think maybe I should switch some adverts? Move them or change the look? Or do you know any better ones? I am finding it hard to find a good 125×125 advert site at the moment… I would have thought Adbrite would have done them… but no.

Thanks for reading, please comment
