I only saw it this morning because I've been offline. My Mom passed away last May 11. I already wrote on this topic for Manila Mom. However, in my current state I feel like writing on it again. I hope you don't mind if I do so on my other blog, Cafe Romanza. Thanks again! Thanks for tagging me, Garry. I only saw it this morning because I’ve been offline. My Mom passed away last May 11.

LOL! I guess I will have to add that to my To-Do-List. Almost seems like I need a site administrator? But being a jack of all trades is fun too! I will have to look into that. As far as the Google Adsense goes... to be honest, I haven't even checked my reports. I did after the first few days of running the campaign and it was doing quite well. But, I am running it for 30 days as a test to see if it will be an effective means for making a little money online to supply my kids with some goodies and ice cream at the end of every month... I don't want the ads interfering with my content. People who read and follow my writing all know what Google Adsense is. There is no use putting it in their face. After people read my articles, these ads are in their line of sight. I am not going to use HOT NEON CLICK ME colors. If the ads interest my readers, they will click... changing the colors, etc isn't going to cause my readers to click any more. Again, I want my readers attention on me! Not my ads... My goal is to make the minimum $100/month needed to get checks cut monthly and enjoy some family time. Thanks for your comments though and the feedback. I appreciate it a lot! :) I am glad that the ads are soothing and almost invisible. I am not desperate for clicks. Google will do their job for me, to create clicks. If they fail, then I fire them! Simple as that. :) Trouble trouble trouble… :)

I find those ads quite soothing, but yet I would not click them, as they do not talk to me. no "click-me" color, as it looks too much like content. Btw. the receive a follow-up comment does not work for me on this page. weird, isnt it?
