You should not see a difference, but I had to change the way form
submissions are handled. After my hosting company 'upgraded' my
account and moved the site to a new server, my previously used
script did not work completely correctly. Apparently this cannot be
fixed! Rather than trying to find, configure, and install an ASP
script, I signed up with a paid service to process forms, FormtoEmail-remote. So far it looks like all forms are configured
and submitting properly. |
|
| 16 Dec 2010 |

Last week Google AdSense advised me to make the ads at the bottom of
the pages wider. I accidentally allowed image ads, too, when I made
the change. Wow! Quite a
difference. Sometimes the ads are from Honda, Toyota, ATT, L'Oreal,
Allstate, Discover... all sorts of big-time companies. It's still
not bringing in enough dollars to cover the rent, but every bit
helps! Thanks to all who view and who click! |
