News
Two new things:
First, is a meta news item, saying that news will now appear on the front page with other entries, so that everyone can read it, and also so that you can comment on it, because sometime feedback is nice to have.
Second: I got an email from Bla-Bla today basically explaining that the idea of banner ads was dead, and that pop-ups (or "interstitials," as they liked to call them) were what bla-bla affiliates would have to support in the future.
Personally, I hate pop-ups, and if I'd be annoyed to read my own site, imagine how annoyed you all would be?
On the other hand, I was getting $19 a month from Bla-Bla, and site hosting costs me about $34, so ending my contract with them would mean In Passing would cost me even more to run. I've seen alternative solutions to this, such as webmasters who make it possible for visitors to send them a dime, or a quarter via pay pal (such as AOLiza,) kind of like a tipping system. But at the same time, I don't know how I'd feel about hitting people up for money.
Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
