    A friend of mine, a webmaster, suggested I try doing a blog because he thought I would enjoy it. I think he's right. I started this back a few months ago and I'm getting more stuff on it everyday. If anyone here would like to check it out it's
    http://www.ancientriddles.info/
    It's got stuff about strange, cool, or down right freaky weird shit. :)

    Hmmm...what are PSA's and any suggestions for the design? My friend set up the design and I'm not really sure how to change the appearance or design.

    PSA = public service ads, from google
    = no money when ppl click

    If its wordpress you can install a theme to change the design

    Ah...I would imagine my friend put those PSAs on there as he is my webhost. I would imagine he thought they would help build the sites page ranking. I'll have to discuss with him once he returns from some family business. Thanks for the info.
    It is wordpress...so I changed the appearance earlier this morning/last night. Does this design look better?

    I like the design but I do suggest that your posts are bigger. You are writing such short post that people will spend very little time on the site.

    The topic is very interesting and should attract a lot of visitors if you just expand your post a bit.

    I think PSA ads are shown when google cannot find any relevant ads.
    Anyway, I dont see any ads on your site :)

    The design is ok. Interesting topic. I would suggest you to go for a header for your theme, posts are short enough and wont attract visitors.

    PS: You are making double posts. Use multiple quote option "+ if you want to quote multiple posts. Double posting may cause some trouble to you.
