I think I can afford to operate the site and remove the ads from within the blog text, those are annoying and make it difficult to read especially on your phone. I might need to add them back but I'll try removing them for now. For those who can afford to support the site, thank you so much. For those who can't, I appreciate having you here, please refer your friends and add to the conversation with your wonderful comments and blog posts. Thanks everyone!
I think you should keep the ads, Emma. You're worth it, and so is this wonderful place.
You should keep the ads. You have my deepest gratitude and every right to try to at least break even.
Thank you both. I may bring them back but I'm trying to make the site a little more usable. You might notice some changes, especially on the front page.
Thanks for the site and all the work you put into it. Ads or no ads I would recommend this site to anyone. I usually browse on a tablet and I didn't find the ads too bad, soon after I became subscriber.
