I sold out

Posted July 9 in Asides.

I might have said I wouldn’t do it, but money does not grow on trees and I am kinda broke. Would you like your ad here? (Outdated link removed.) Oh, and if anyone is interested in finding out exactly how I managed to make completely CSS driven popups, let me know and I’ll put together a tutorial.

    well, you’ll soon find out what your readers have to say about it.

    one more thing, I think the ads could be smaller. Right now they detract from the header too much.

  3. C Montoya July 9, 2006

    Well yes, they could be smaller, and I could make less money. Feh.

    Heh, I don’t blame you. I understand completely and don’t think that they distract from the design too much. Maybe you could add a PayPal donate button, too?

    Good luck and I hope that you get some cash in your pocket before long.

    Gotta pay the bills right? More power to you inserting a few small ads. I’m quilty. I think mine are so unobtrusive that people rarely see them :(

    Pure CSS Popups, by Eric Meyer.

    Aw Noah, you spoiled it. That is where I started. Getting around a certain IE bug was tough though.

    It’s nothing major, but if you right click one of the ads in firefox and open it in a new tab, its popup stays put and sometimes obscures the popups of the other ads.

  9. C Montoya July 13, 2006

    Yeah, I think it’s because I don’t have a:active or a:focus in the CSS, so the blocks don’t get removed. Oh well, those things might go down soon so it’s no big deal :)

    Um, don’t make it sound so appealing :P

    Well if anyone had actually rented some ads, that would have been nice… but it never actually worked out.
