Google's Adsense With Websearch

Google now allows web publishers to earn money from the searches done from their site. I figure that little "search this site using Google" phrase to be plastered all over the blogosphere now, just like adsense ads are. And that's not a bad thing.

This service is win-win for everyone. Of course Google expands their brand in a smart way. Web publishers get another opportunity to monetize their content, which further supports their sites. And advertisers get better rates of returns, because users are more apt to buy something from a adwords ad on a search listing rather than a webpage.

Display Feeds Using Javascript

A cool tool for turning webfeeds into javascript for diplaying on a site is Feed2JS. As soon as I can get the styling to the look of my site I'll start using it.

So that may be a while from now. I know very little about CSS and all that. The best I can do is look through stylesheet for something that makes *sense* and then tinker with it until I either improve it or break it. All trial and error. But it ends in mostly error for me.

Colleen, help!
