You may notice down the right-hand side of this blog some ads. One of the purposes of this blog was for me to learn how things work. It's taken about a month to set up the deal with Google. when we first did it our server crashed just as Google went in to check our validity. And then it just seemed to take forever for them to re-check. However, all is now well although I'm hoping the ads might become a little more interesting. I'll keep you in touch with how the income stream develops. I'm not anticipating this to be Macmillan's profit salvation but it should be interesting.

Incidentally, I notice that one of the ads which appears from time to time is for Macmillan - but I do not intend to pay myself if anyone links - and I don't remember authorising Google to sell any ads for us. A mystery. Can anyone illuminate me?
