It’s been a while since I changed the theme on this site; about 2005 to be exact. So yesterday I did some digging around amongst the freebies available at WordPress & found Upstart Blogger Minim to suit me quite well. Nicely uncluttered & clean, easy to read, three columns… what more could I ask for? I did throw in the requisite Thornton Chocolate on Sioux Quartzite header image, just to stay a little consistent. Besides, I like that photo. And the choc-o-late.
The main thing that prompted me to change was the addition of Google Adsense ads. I don’t expect to make a ton of money from advertising on my site, but I figure it can’t hurt. And it might also get my site back on the map on Google. Before I moved things to PowWeb, my post about the Hillbilly Horseshoes game would get regular visits, which hit the first page of Google results for many people searching for information & plans for it. Now, searching for the domain name www.davintosh.com only gets returns from a few more popular sites where I’ve posted & left a calling card. I’m not supposed to tell you to click the ads, so I won’t. Even if you do, I don’t think I’m any closer to retirement.
As for the new look, I hope you like it. All 7 of you who have visited today.
