Byebye Blogrolling … And a Happy Birthday !

I posted a little while ago about how I loathe advertising

There’s a couple of changes in the template today, although I’ve still not taken the plunge and upgraded the template to something Blogger would prefer.

It’s Unbirthday month !

I like to end on an upnote, so a little mention for Blogrolling. I’ve used them for a few years now, no complaints. They got severely hacked a while ago, which restricted the functionality of their site so much we couldn’t edit the blogrolls. Heh – kinda glad I removed the Mercs site before that happened, as the Mercs site was also under assault, this time by pornspammers.

Blogrolling 2’s just been unleashed on an unsuspecting world and I have to admit, I was very close to sending over the $20 to register for no-ads in order to help keep them going. That ain’t happening though cos the advert pushers they’ve used are, as is usual for ads, slowing down the loading of pages. Ah well, it’s pushed me towards doing my blogroll myself, which can only be a good thing.

Why push a job on to someone else when a little less laziness means you can do yourself 🙂 So I now have a blogroll template that I’ll use when updating the Blogroll, which doesn’t happen often enough to spend $20 a year on Blogrolling. I’ll add that template to my Techie blog, in case people want to copy it.

I’ve also taken the chance to update the blogroll a little, cutting some and adding some as well as keeping a couple of links for old times sake 🙂

Positive news time !

It’s Unbirthday month ! As sponsored by the lovely lady Sunshine. My birthday’s away in November but I’m hoping there’s a few birthdays with the work people this month. We have a simple tradition in our project :

Whoever has a birthday buys the cakes.

Simple traditions are often the best. It’s a happy birthday to CPA Mom today and tomorrow it will be a Happy 60th Birthday to Sandra’s Mom.

Many Happy Returns 🙂 And remember to keep the cake fiends happy.
