Ok,
Umm…
Blogging is turning into a great big advertising fest!

Although payperpost is not my thing it does not bother me as long as the blog using it declares it – as this blog does- Odd time signatures. Not only can you earn a bit of money to post a review now you can get a FREE product!

You like free stuff, right? C’mon, who doesn’t? Then come be a part of It all!

As a matter of fact Drumsnwhistles post on this deserved a response.

So here it is 🙂

No-one will ever convince me that any review to get a free product will be an honest one!
Remember when broadcast television was free and good? Then along came cable. Perhaps well worth the extra cost if for no ads during movies. Now we have payper view and premium channels. My stupid guide menu now has ads on it for goodness sakes. And, broadcast televisions quality has gone down.

The “Blogoshere” was free (except dialup charges). Then came the “free” services like the ones offered by KMart etc. that had home pages with so many ads you would not be able to find way around them :). Free homepages led to ads (like the free geocities sites at Yahoo/SBC. Now there is an extra charge to have an ad free site. You can also pay more for extra bytes of data transfer or storage. The quality of many blogs has gone down. Many blogs are nothing but cyber billboards and data mining ventures vultures.

I use firefox not Internet Explorer. I refuse to watch a movie for $3-$5 that will be free in two years. I refuse to place ads on my site. I pay not to have ads on my site – but that is me.

We all differ.

Use the theme switcher in the upper right to see the two themes. Still working on text colors etc. Let me know which one has the most potential. I will put of few more up once I get em started. Then I will play with the layout – maybe 🙂

As you can see I have changed over to the Binary Blue WordPress Theme. Right now I have selected no scheme – or the no visual excitement choice.

Now I need to look over the code and figure out where to go – visually that is – with the blogs color choices. Blue is my favorite color and I am thinking of mixing it up with the natural earth tones. Perhaps a wheat and green as compliments? Should I use a graphical header or plain color? So many choices and questions to mull around.

Then there is the effect that textures have on color, warm color vs cooler colors (warm colors like red  tend to give the appearance of moving toward the viewer but have the negative side of being interpreted by many as angry or aggressive. Cooler colors like blue canbe read as a relaxed calm or a depressive mood. I can not forget the hue and saturation or color wheel realtionships now can I ?

Color me geek. Ya think I am overthinking this? 🙂

Ok – I admit it – I was bored. So I am playing with different Themes and .. stuff like dat … 🙂 🙁
