Okay, second thing. Thanks for all of your feedback regarding the question of advertising here. Looks like the majority of you don't mind a little bit of advertising, however we will continue to be selective. There will NEVER be any "pop up" advertising, or anything video, or any "flash" type of ads. We get that, and we totally agree with you on the annoyance of these types of ads.
The results of our poll? Well considering 478 people have viewed the page, only 149 people answered the poll. I guess that means the rest of you simply don't care enough to take 1 second (literally!) to answer. Anyhow, for those of you who did answer the poll, 87% of you have no problem with us showing a little bit of advertising of some kind.
Thank you Kevin & Ruth and thanks to Zinio, too! I do so appreciate it! Nice rainbow photo!!!

You're welcome Connie, enjoy your magazine.
DeleteHello, I answered 'I don't care' but I agree about the pop-ups. Just and FYI, I just answered your other poll about how often I read your blog and when I hit the back button on the poll site to return here, I got a pop-up! Love the blog and articles, so it doesn't bother me, just wanted to let you know. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteWe had no idea! Thanks Janis...that poll was just for fun anyhow, but now we know. It's gone!
DeleteGreat rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary-Pat.
DeleteThat was really nice of you to have the contest. Just one more reason I enjoy following your blog...ads or no ads! :cD

DeleteGlad to see so many people got the magazine of their choice. I'm one of those no opinion on ads. It's your blog, you do a good job and I trust your judgement.
ReplyDeleteThank you for having so much trust in us Sherry. The blog will not be bombarded with advertising that is for sure, we don't like cluttered blog sites.
DeleteMy internet connections are lousy so I missed the poll but ads don't bother me. I'm still going to read your blog no matter what you do to it. You can't get rid of me that easily.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Jim and Sandie. No worries anyway because if we do there will only be a couple and maybe the odd post.
