I like the stripes, too, but I like almost anything if it's blue. That blue drink sounded good. One comment no one has made is that the title, "Simplistic Thoughts," doesn't mean what the blogger thinks it means. "Simplistic" means over-simplified. What he wants is "Simplified Thoughts" or "Simple Thoughts" or "Thoughts on Simplicity" or something. Dot´s last blog post...Weird Tip Tuesday - Revive Old Paperbacks

[...] men strode down the path to the park, walking fast but not running. No need to run today, not like last week’s hit where they’d been chased by the angry hotel owner until they’d managed to shake him off [...]

Hey all thanks for the comments. Looks like I have a lot of work to do, but at least I know where to get started. I have actually been thinking about changing my theme, so maybe now is a good time.

@James – Just personal preference, I suppose. As a reader, I can’t stand ads above the post (especially since they push all her content below the fold) or that disrupt the flow of the post. Besides, from my own experience, Google AdSense ads rarely make more than a few cents a month. (Or maybe that’s just me… it’s entirely possible I was doing it wrong. )

Of course, from a blogger point of view this is an entirely different matter, and I’m all for making money off of your blog. However, I still think she should tone it down a bit – figure out which ads are actually making her money, and ditch the rest.

No worries, taking the screen shot down now.

Excuse the technical difficulty, folks. The thumbnail was picking up the screen shot image instead of the one it was supposed to. All fixed now. Thanks for the screen shot Patrick!

Firefox 3 no problems on the front page. The search box may be a little tough to see but not bad. I like the idea of cutting down on the list of categories, some blogs have thirty or forty which not only is tough on the eyes but it makes it tough to figure out what I may want to read, typically I just end up clicking away to another site.

@Martin – I’m using FireFox 3 with the AdBlockPlus addon and I’m able to pick up the seach box – just barely. I was going to mention the search box on this blog as it is difficult to see. It’s currently located under the feed buttons. I’m using the default EasyListUSA filter list with the AdBlockPlus addon.

@James and Harry – Your exits are the best. I’m hoping you guys train during the week so you don’t get caught by the locals and end up in some hell hole.

@ Patrick – Holy crap… That’s not what I see (Firefox), but I can go take a look at the coding. It’ll probably have to wait for Harry’s expertise, though.

Damn… check it.

Is it just me or has this post broken the front page?

This is what I am seeing on my monitor:
