No Advertising

This weblog is one of the few that doesn't use any advertising. Yet. So enjoy it while you can. There are a few other features that might be mistaken for advertising, but honestly I only put them here for your enjoyment. I don't get a cent from them or from anything on this web site. Honest.

Recently, I added a comic at the foot of this weblog called "Day by Day" by Chris Muir. It's not too bad either, and updates itself every day. If it works well, I'll continue it.

Some notes about other stuff on the blog:
- The top right "subscribe in a reader" only applies if you are using a newsreader to read your favorite blogs. Otherwise, ignore it.

- Clicking on the little flags on the right will automatically translate the page. They will only translate the current article you are looking at, so it's better to do it when you are looking at the whole article, not just the piece on the main page. It's a very literal translation, so it doesn't always work well. I've been told the Korean translation is rather poor. The German translation is passable, however. It's the best I can do for now; I have toyed with the idea of writing this site in German as well, but I just don't have the time to do a parallel blog.

- In the middle of the second sidebar are some photos. Those are random samples from my Flickr page.

- At the bottom of the blog, above the copyright info, is the Google newsreel. It displays current articles about favorite issues. It's actually a very nice feature.

- The "clocklink" in the sidebar is there purely for convenience.

I recently took out the "Amber Alert" ribbon that I had running for awhile. The reason is because this weblog is focused more on international issues than the US only. The alerts were also hard to read and slowed down the site. I will continue to write about missing person cases on a case-by-case basis, however.

If you have any suggestions one way or the other, please let me know.
