When I write these blog posts, I'm so immersed in the subject matter that I tend to get a little tunnel vision, so I don't notice everything on the web pages. But I did notice that there are advertisements on our little slice of the blogosphere, which is a good thing. Who knows? Maybe the ads have been here the whole time, and I just haven't noticed, choosing instead to see if NKR or Black N Gold or Big Ben is Back! have weighed in on anything and everything.
But I've seen Rachel Ray advertising Dunkin Donuts, and I saw a PC Richard ad at the top of the page. And I just saw an ad where you can win two tickets to see Hannah Montana! My daughter is a big fan, by the way, and we've been known to tune in a time or two while she snuggles up after dinner.
All of which means the Christmas shopping season is upon us ... and, more importantly, that you are reading enough of these blogs to convince advertisers to spend their dough on our website.
All of which is very, very good news to Newsday bloggers, because it means we'll get to keep writing this stuff and make some cash for the company at the same time. And provide some entertainment for your viewing pleasure all the while.
