    I have a good day job, but have decided to make a little blog on the side. The exact reasons you can find in the first post on my blog. I am taking the long view with the intent to keep this going for years regardless of whether it makes money - this isn't a MFA site. But it still would be nice if it made money, and that's why I am asking for opinions :D

    The blog is:

    applebriefs.com

    I am an "experienced" web designer / programmer but have been out of the loop for the last few years because I no longer work as a web designer. I also only recently became involved in SEO, adsense, and blogging.

    I haven't done much SEO (just one directory submission to get crawled - which seems to have worked). Most of my visitors initially will be coming from my signature on list servs, etc.

    I would appreciate any opinions on general layout, adsense, etc. since - as I mentioned - I haven't done most of this before.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion (and the compliment!). If you added an add on the left under the navigation would you put it in a green box (like the navigation) or just have it float?
