Just some random blog stuff for you:

  • Blogads is a nice way to make a little revenue off your blog. If you have a high traffic blog, that is - advertisers are generally interested in you if your traffic and readership are high. I use Blogads over at Right Voices and do moderately well. Some months are slow, other months aren’t.

    These days - bloggers can have BlogAds on their site if they are a member of Blogads. If you are not a member, you need an invitation from a blogger who is a memeber, and who has invites to give away. We have 4 BlogAds invitations 3 BlogAd Invitations ready to give away to the right sites. We’re giving them away right over here - so, if you’re interested - go read the details.

  • I installed a great plugin with the new design this week. It’s a plugin that I found over by Leanne and it’s really cool. It’s called CA-Credits and it puts that little statement at the bottom of my post that says “Look Who Is Talking:…” and lists out the commenters for that post, along with a link to their site. Kind of a nice way to give thanks for dropping by and joining in the discussion!
  • Automattic announces WordPress Widgets The Automattic Widgets are a simple WordPress plugin that allows you to customize your sidebar. It’s pretty coll really - however it only works with select themes. It had been developed for WordPress.com but they’ve released into the general WordPress community.
  • This little app: Color Cop Setup version 5.3, self-installing package. is a GREAT thing for colorblind designers like me! Or, for non-colorblind designers - - it’s an equal opportunity app. It lets you have a color eyedropper in your quick launch bar so you can grab colors from any application screen you are looking at. Cool!

That’s all for now.

    You’re color blind? So am I. Really rare for females.

    Bah, I couldn’t get CA-Credit to look purty and abandoned it. Bleh.
