Changes to Blog

I'm back to trying to figure out how to better use this blog, and to monetize it.  Monetize?   Yes I want to add Google AdSence.  In other words, there will be ads on the blog that will tend to follow what I write about on the blog, and if something in the ad interests you, and you click on it I will get a small (very small, about a penny) commission. That, in time may add up to something, or may not. You should not click on any add if your not interested.  If the ads become obtrusive, I'll remove them. I follow blogs with ads, and they don't bother me.
I'm also playing around with the layout and look of the blog. So bear with me. Like I said way back when I first started to blog, the more you use something, the better you get at it. A lot of us now use the social networking sites (Facebook, and Twitter) to keep up with friends and family, they are great for what they are. But for me a blog is more like a journal, or an opinion page. And lets face it, we all have our own story, and opinion.
 And unlike Facebook, there is a lot less clutter with a blog.  And if readers like it, they can come back. If not, they won't. Also on my blog I can ad links to sites that I like, or am interested in, and you can check them out too.
