Have you considered a sub-section for independent contractors and/or the self employed. Just haven't see much out there related to all the tax, investment, and personal finance related to people in that situation. I will be doing independent contracting in the next couple months and am searching for everything I need to know from the most basic level and it's really hit or miss. Just thought it might be an interesting subsection with IT being an area with a large amount of independent contractors compared to many other industries I missed out on the original reader survey but had a comment.

I have the adblock but everytime I return to the site the ad also returns. So I just gave up on blocking the ads and the frames. Is there a way to make it permanent? Beth, I use mozilla.

As far as Ted goes, is it improper to point out that firefox has adblocking extensions? I don't know how that affects you as a blogger - you still get my site visit, but I don't see the ads.

While I blog because I like blogging, the advertising income allows me to dedicate more time to doing it. Most readers are blind to it and are used to seeing advertising on websites. I may have an option for an ad-free reader experience in the future -- I'm working on the details. By the way, my email to you, which included more information on those "details," bounced. Please check to make sure the email address you leave is valid if you're interested in discussing an issue. Ted: That ad placement is lucrative, otherwise it wouldn’t be there.

That right there usually makes me not read your site. Why do you have a huge ad block right in the middle of your article text? That right there usually makes me not read your site.
