the elephant in the room

So...you may have noticed the big ol' flashing AD over there on the right. After much consideration, I have decided to join an ad network (Federated Media, specifically), through my relationship with the Clever Girls Collective. I figured since I spend so much dang time on this little ol' blog, I might as well TRY and earn some spending money out of the deal. Right? I knew you'd be supportive! So anyway, I'm going to give it a month or two, and see how it goes. If I make $6 in two months, well, then I'd say that's probably not worth, but if I make enough for a pair of shoes...well, I'd have to consider that! I would truly appreciate hearing your feedback as well...does it drive you NUTS? Or could you care less? Just so you know, another option I considered was selling sponsored spots on my blog, for a small fee, in monthly increments. The problems I considered with that was would I have anybody interested in advertising on and then, she {snapped}? And how much time would I spend trying to sell and getting those spots posted. The benefit of having the smaller blog sponsors is that I would have more of a say in what I'm advertising, and also how it looks.

So there you have it.
