A Little House Cleaning: No More Ads.

A commentator noted a few days ago that a particular ad was ironically placed just below a post. I pointed out that the ads were generated by Google/AdSense as a function of the topic. At one stage, I had inserted these 'widgets' so that the site could earn some revenue. I have not become rich from having the ads; in fact, nary a sou have I seen. I have to reach US$100 before I get pay dirt. So, guess what? Your days are done, ads. Gone. No more puff for adder powder. No more enhancers for things that cannot be enhanced. Bottom line: I hope a cleaner and clearer look to this blog.

You never noticed the ads? Well, what can I say?
