New Blog

Visit my new blog "The Bookshelf".

The Bookshelf offers short book reviews from my reading list. Every two weeks, or so, I will post about a new book I have read and give it a "Thumbs Up" or a "Thumbs Down". You can see which books I plan to read and past reviews. And, I'd love to hear your opinions too. So please join in the discussions.

You can also get a FREE widget for your website to keep up-to-date with the posts! Click HERE.

Earn Money From Your Website

While you're in school there is an easy and fun way to earn some extra money. Google's AdSense is a free tool that allows you to put ads on your website or blog (there is no risk or commitment). Each time a visitor clicks on an ad you get paid. It can range from 1 cent to 1 dollar per click. It's easy to set up and there is a lot of help along the way. They also offer tips to optimizing your ad placement and customization.

FYI:

• You can only put up to three ads on a page


• You cannot click the ads yourself or have your friends do it for you. Google has the ability to track and stop this. So be careful.
  
• You only get paid once you have reached earnings of $100 USD
  
• You cannot choose the ads for your blog
  

So check it out. I was able to do it and I don't know anything about HTML. Let me know if you have any questions.

It's so much fun. I just added the first widget I saw, the cyber-pet monkey that I named Laurel for no reason at all. I will be adding more of them soon.
