August 20th, 2007 by Jemaleddin Cole

…I’ve been restor­ing pages that I lost in last years Typo-​upgrade inci­dent from the Inter­net Archive. I found a bunch of what used to be my most heav­ily vis­ited pages over there that evi­dently got lost in the shuf­fle, which, while not new con­tent, means more search results for me, and maybe more ad rev­enue. Which just might moti­vate me to post some more.

I think part of my prob­lem has been I have all of these posts that I want to write: a review of What You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Child with Autism (short review: better than I expected), a larger dis­cus­sion of what it’s been like rais­ing a son with autism, and a slew of Movie and TV reviews. I think I’m at the point that I’m par­a­lyzed by the amount of things I want to write. Hope­fully, all of this work I’ve been doing on the back end of the site (Word­press 2.2.2 and the Stats plugin rock), will get me past that.

Oh, and I’m enter­ing my mid-30s today. Blech.

  4. What ads? I can’t find a single one on your site. Are they invis­i­ble?

  5. You are, or should be, run­ning AdBlock­Plus. But they’re there. =-)

    In fact, the ones you can def­i­nitely see are the spon­sors at the top right, and the link for Dreamhost which is where I make most of my money on this thing.

  6. SO stick an ad at skank.​tan​gle​bones.com

    Just don’t adver­tise some­thing that would embar­rass me. I don’t get as many hits as you but you may as well get a ben­e­fit for what little there is.

  7. I’m just not sure what having the word skank all over the place would do to the adwords sug­ges­tions. =-)

  8. It would be a curi­ous exper­i­ment, though. Would they tend toward def­i­n­i­tion #1 that is intended by the name of this site and my nom de plume, or for def­i­n­i­tion #2 or #3 which are not?

  9. Let’s play pre­tend! You’re an inter­net adver­tiser, look­ing to get some more page views for your sites. Which of those def­i­n­i­tions are you most likely to be using?

  10. Take your mind and filthy imag­i­na­tion out of the gutter, boy. Where’s my bar of inter­net soap?

  11. I’m just saying: there’s a reason for Rule 34 of the Inter­net. And it’s not about danc­ing.

  12. Hmmph!
