I tried a donation button, it made me uncomfortable when I saw it, it received no money, and I took it off. I tried several different ads. Some looked too gaudy and had little relevance to a humor column. They received no clicks and I took them off. If a blog's ads become overly intrusive, traffic will probably drop, as it seems well-written content gets republished by so many other sources, anyone who feels they must read it will find it somewhere else (probably a place with fewer ads). Just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful series, Darren. It has been a delightful and educational experience. I look forward to whatever you come up with next – LOL!

I have heard so many decry Engadgets use of ads... None of the ads are in bad taste, the design of the blog is nice, and the ads don't distract me in the least. I have clicked a few ads there, though I have never bought anything. I am an Engadget fanboy, though. I learn so much from them that I guess I would put up with whatever they stuck up there ;) Darren, Here's my submission for the last day of blogging for 31 days. <a href="http://sleepyblogger.com/2005/08/workable-blogging-schedule.html" rel="nofollow">A Workable Blog Schedule</a> that's right for me.
