wow... so much to say tonight...

So much, in fact, that I hardly know where to begin!

You have all seen all these sponsored ads that I've done recently. First, in regards to those sponsored ads, I am making a format change. From now on, I will be using *asterisks* to mark my sponsored posts (instead of writing "This is a sponsored post"). I will write an explanation somewhere in the left-hand sidebar, but this "code" will be much more discreet. Some of my advertisers have requested this change, but I still want my readers to know which posts are my original content and which posts are sponsored content.

Second, I am seriously considering purchasing a url and moving my blog onto my own Wordpress blog. I am also beginning the process of training myself in SEO. There is a lot to learn, but I believe it would be a good thing to know.

Though I know that some of my readers are annoyed by the sponsored ads, I am considering the possibility of turning sponsored blog posts into a career. I believe it is possible, although it will undoubtedly take a lot of hard work. I have also learned that, if I learn enough about SEO, I can eventually go into consulting and contract work and have a regular job that way.

So, I apologize for the ads, and I thank you for your tolerance with these ads. If you see anything that you are even remotely interested in - whether it is in a post or in the Google Adsense ads - then please, click on it and learn a bit more about it.
