Wendy Piersall over at eMoms at Home has posted an excellent article on the ups and downs of joining ad networks. If you are looking to monetize your website or blog with an advertising, don’t do so until you have read her piece.

“Get Out of Hell Free” caught my eye in a graphic on the page. Curious, I took a look. It seems when you are writing about the weird, you tend to attract the weird. One of his stories prompted a reader to write to Randy Casselman, the owner and writer, that he was going to hell. He responded that the newsletter’s consulting minister liked the story to which she promptly replied that he was going to hell too. (more…)
