   Just have to let you know, as someone new to blogging, those textual ads (?) that pull up a search page – I don’t know the correct term for them – are very disorienting. It looks like you are linking to your About Weblogs site when the hyperlinked word sends me to a search page instead.

   If I hadn’t accidently clicked a similar ad on another site I would have clicked there too (surfing/skimming too fast to check the thumbnail I suppose). I thought I had a spam search page pop-up at first. Not a great impression!

   I know it’s an income stream so I can’t blame you, but it does sucker unsuspecting surfers who think they’re clicking a link. Especially when you’re saying “check my About Weblogs” and it’s reasonable to expect a legit link there.

   I’m still uncaffeinated so forgive me if this is an irrelevant rambling. Just fyi.

   Eh, just realized your bolded text was the link. I haven’t read enough of your blog to know if that’s your normal format. As the intended link from that post it still goes against the design laws I had drilled into me (avoid underlining non-linking text but I think that follows to making sure the most important link *looks* like a link.) Again, undercaffeinated and just a little annoyed with those text things that magnetically draw my mouse to them.
