Ads were ruining my site

Adam is right. The damn 336×280 AdSense ads took over my blog and made it look like a splog. Hey man, I like money as much as the next guy, but not if it ruins my blog. (Note: Registered users have always been shielded from ads on this site, but I realize it’s a pain in the ass to register.)

I think I’ll cook something up to only show ads on posts older than a month, which will spare my regular readers of that crap. For now, they’re disabled.

I also fixed some feed issues. Had to tidy up around here.

    very cool. i’m not trying to be an anti-ad-policeman here; i’m quite okay with smaller layouts mixed into the main content (your theme designer’s site is a perfect example). it’s mainly just that the ad block squished the content too much for easy readability.

    Heh, for a moment I was like, “What ads?” Then I read on.

    I ended up putting AdSense on some of my more popular, older posts. E.g. http://johnzeratsky.com/archives/000882.php
