The New Design and Free Ads
As you probably remember, a few days before I made my “new design” live I was giving away free advertising slots. Of course, the new design only lasted a few hours as there were several major problems with the coding, IE compatibility, and much more. While I plan on writing a detailed post on what went wrong and how you can avoid my downfalls that is for a later date.
For now, I wanted to give a “shoutout” to all of those who were supposed to receive a free link for a month. Even though the last design did not work out, I will more than likely make a change sooner rather than later.
1. John Chow of TTZ Media.
2. Deborah of The Rhythm of Write
3. Adam T. of Young Entrepreneur
4. Mukund of A Geeky Life
5. Gigi of Re-Defined Designs
6. Tony of Queeroes
Although I am disappointed that the first design did not work out, especially because I paid for it, things are still going well with ChrisBlogging. November is already the highest month yet as far as traffic and earnings are concerned. Additionally, my RSS readership is closing in on 100.
Thanks again to the advertisers listed above, as well as all my readers!

John Chow is everywhere!
Hey Chris I just earned $44 as a content writer!!! My first real job, so far I’ve been working only on my projects. Do you think it’s a good start?

Hey Chris! Thanks for the shout-out! I wasn’t too worried about the ad, to be honest. I’m glad you’re working out the bugs, though!

PS - I’m pretty sure David at O2Smedia.com plugged your advertising, also…

So…do you recommend not using a particular blog design company?

Chris,
Thanks for the shoutout nonetheless. Just fyi, even though the redesign was up for a short time, I did get a handful of hits from it and I’m sure I’ll get another handful from this, which is nice. So thanks!
