the adsense upsell experience

gah! have this dry feeling in my mouth after just completing the entire adsense sign up.

What a downer of a process - the language REALLY makes you think about whether you want to place ads on your site EVER... and if I find out that my site traffic (total of 1 person - me) is insufficient for them to let me place an ad anyway on the site then all those 30 mins of soul searching are wasted.

I wish I hadn't been tempted enough to click on the promo when I edited a post... the deceptively inviting "make money through adsense on your site". SUCKER!! And now I'm going to wait nervously - hoping for the best and most probably will complain if I get it or not.

FINALLY!!! i find out two months late that google updated their blogger widget for mac and its working now. 
... not that there was any vital posting I HAD to do these past couple of months... but still - it's the principle of the thing.

uurk. looks like no pix are supported. the mobile thing from shozu is better.
