I have been busy writing my little fingers off here lately and there are several new things that I would like to share with you.  As you may know, I have a whole network of blogs now and I’m always looking for new ways to monetize them.  For a while, I ran Kontera on a couple of these sites.  Kontera shows ads as text links inside your blog posts.
