Good morning. I just wanted to let you all know that I’m currently working on adding ads to the site. Yes, I know… Nobody likes ads. That’s why I’m pretty sure it’s going to be pretty ugly for a few days.

See, I’m going to keep tweaking until I get ads that are appropriate and they’re placed in such a way so as to not break the site’s flow.

It shouldn’t be ugly for long, but it might be ugly for a couple of days – at least until I work things out and actually figure out what the hell it is that I’m doing.

However, I pretty much suck at layout and design. No, really… Don’t try to argue and give me compliments. If you like the layout of the site, that’s largely because this isn’t a theme that I wrote. Nope, it’s one that I found that was minimal and doesn’t get in the way of the content.

I don’t even know how to make images and banners! I haven’t touched CSS in pretty much two decades. I haven’t ever added ads to to a site with WordPress.

So, it’s gonna be pretty ugly for a little while. Sorry about that.

Why ads? Well, the truth is that we don’t really need the money but the goal is to have ads that will automatically pay for everything. In other words, should something happen, the site should keep going in perpetuity. That’s the goal, at any rate.

I can’t tell you to click ads. It’s against the rules set out by Google. If I break those rules, they can take away the ads. I can say don’t click on ads that aren’t interesting to you!

If you use an ad-blocker, that’s okay. It’d be nice if you whitelisted the site, but it’s your choice to allow them or not. As long as I have the keys to the kingdom, we will never force you to allow ads. We will also only use ads that aren’t going to rape and murder your PC. We will use simple ads from Google, without loading dangerous scripts.

There’s ethical lines and the ones we have are pretty set in stone – at least as long as I’m in charge of putting stuff here. They won’t be crossed.

If you have questions or comments, do feel free to respond. There’s multiple people involved in this site but I’m pretty sure we’re in agreement about things like monetizing and the ethical considerations involved.
