I'm glad you like it! I wasn't sure about having pictures of cats that look directly at you. I don't want it to grab too much attention plus it's not polite in catiquette
Anne,
I think it grabs just enough attention! Looks really good..... Have you thought about doing it for the main page, too? I think that would look really good!
Anne; I am in favor of anything that gets rid of the banners.
inky: Did the site really make that much off of them as it was? I think not.
What disgusted me was the tendancy to "inadvertently" click on them while waiting for the page to load, and before you realize it you are "Knee Deep" in propaganda. . . . . .
It's all over the site including the main page. If you still see the old design you need to refresh the page in your browser. TLK, the banners were bringing in aprx. 1-2$ a month
Definitely not worth it!
I am now looking for sponsors for the site. That would mean an announcement at the top of the page which said "this site is sponsored by" or something to that account. As the site grows it takes up more storage space and bandwidth and my host wants me to move to a dedicated server soon (several hundreds a month!) so I really need to find some sponsors soon... But no banners!
Yeah, the web site looks much better without the banner advertisements! Thank you! (I'm sorry they didn't prove worthwhile, of course, in light of the expenses you incur.) PUHLEEZE do not go the pop-up route! I'll take banners any day over pop-ups. All right-thinking people instinctively hate pop-ups.
I love the cat-scan idea on the front page! After all, what can one do in the face of a row of staring cats? They're rather like a gauntlet of strict teachers with switches at the ready in case we get out of line!
