First, I want to thank you for showing up here. No really. I love that about you.
Next, let me say… you are missing out. Truly. I’ve been playing with my NEW FANCY SCHMANCY TRACKING SOFTWARE for about 18.75 hours now – so I know what you’re missing on this site. (I also know that someone got here searching for How To Make Low Carb Bread. Heh. Sorry about that.)
Let’s take a walk…
- First we have the new Daily Photo section. It looks like this:
This is where you can see all of myawesomemediocrephotographyPhotoshopping skills on display. And you don’t want to miss that, do you? - Next we have the new iLife section. It’s no coincidence that this is right under the “Stalker” section. See it?
This is where my most recent iPhone picture will appear. You don’t have to do anything but look at it, and bask in the knowledge that it’s just like you are right here with me always. - If you are new to the site, you should really take advantage of the next FANCY SCHMANCY feature. Which is FANCY SCHMANCILY TITLED “Past Indiscretions”. See – right – here:
This will allow you to get in on all of our INSIDE JOKES. I know, I’m generous.
Of course, if you’re not new to the site, you might want to skip past that last one. Or not. Whatever.
The other new additions to the site are THE ADS!!! (OMG I hate ads! It’s your site! I love ads! I would never! OMG! Blah Blah Blah – now we can say we had THAT talk, m’kay?)
Now, it would be totally and completely unethical for me to tell you to click on the ads. And I am nothing if not TOTALLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY AND ALL TERMS OF AGREEMENTS. Totally. And completely.
And I would never, EVER dream of trying to guilt trip you into clicking on a few ads here and there by telling you something silly like I AM USING THE AD REVENUE TO FUND MY TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY or JUST ONE CLICK A DAY! NO BIGGIE! NO TIME!
Because that would be both unethical and completely and totally tacky. And I am nothing if not the total and complete OPPOSITE OF TACKY. Clearly.
But I would be doing you a grave disservice if I did not educate you and lo, share with you my vast bounty of knowledge on these ad-thingie-mah-hoos. It is only with your best interests in mind that I seek to educate you on the different types of ads found here.
- The BlogHer Ads
These ads are part of the BlogHer Ads Network. I like them because I get paid just because they are there. YOU don’t have to do anything and I don’t have to do anything. It’s just like FREE MONEY. Except less. - The Google AdSense Ads
These ads are meh. The good news is that I get paid every time someone clicks. EVEN IF THEY DON’T BUY ANYTHING. The bad news is, I don’t get anything for having to just look at them. So, boo for that. But, let’s say, in theory, YAY FOR CLICKING! - The Chitika Ads
These ads are also Meh. Because I get paid every time someone JUST CLICKS. But they are slightly cooler than Google because doesn’t the name totally remind you of a Chiquita Banana?? - And last and totally least are the Amazon Ads.
The Amazon ads kind of suck. Because I only get paid if you click on the link and BUY SOMETHING FROM AMAZON. And why would you bother to CLICK HERE IF YOU WERE shopping AMAZON ANYWAY, right?But I keep the ad on my site for one reason.
Whenever I am here, it pimps me this:
And that is good enough for me.
And thus concludes our tour of the TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ETHICAL house of Miss Britt.

How could you forget to mention the snazzy “subscribe to comments” option that lets people stay on top of all the fun and awesomeness that happens in your comments?

I just wanted to point out, in case you are still playing with your whatchamacallit that tells you a Canadian is on your site :
Hi! I’m right here and I SEE YOU

Are you trying to get us to “ACT NOW!”?

How come in the last 6 months you have become a greedy, money grubbing, begging for mememe to go somewhere whore??? And why are we never paying for Jared to go somewhere with you, or the kids??? Why just youyouyou=,memememe, BrittBrittBritt??
It’s like this site has become a payperview for you or your other blogger friends….HELLO??? WORK a bit, and pay for your trips on your own. You’ll enjoy them more, and maybe your husband won;t have to look for his pleasure elsewhere.

New to your site… lovin’ it.
I have ads and hope that people don’t do the same that I do when I visit sites. But, I seem to just mentally skip the ads. It’s almost like they are part of the background and ignore them.
Pretty much the same way I treat my husband.

I’ll click on anything for you, baby.
Uh, hello vodka. I made a Brittini tonight just to see how it tastes…delish!
Reply
I’m not sure why, but I am strangely drawn to your sidebars. Compelled, even. Hmm…

That’s cool that BlogHer pays you whether people click or not. I did not know that! You have a way with photos that totally has me chuckling in my diet soda.
Reply
Woopra is the shit. You heard it from me first.
I have gotten paid from Amazon ads… but not from any of the other ad formats. Which BTW, Chicita has a bad habit of putting up… Amazon ads… which you then actually make less on.
Finally… and just how many boxes of cereal have you gotten through Cereal Wednesday???
Right… the same number of times I’m clicking those contextual ads… :cheese:

KArren- how does Britt “not” paying for a trip equal out to Jared having an affair? I’m confused as to the connection between husband penis and blogging ads.
Britt, as for the blog, love it.

avitable: ummm… I didn’t think it was snazzy??
bluepaintred: HI!!!!!! LOL
Poppy: BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!!
Andria: oh believe me, I track mine. That is EXACTLY what most people do. LOL
Hilly: YES! My plan to get the Brittini on the menu in bars everywhere is slowly moving ahead!
Iron Fist: hmmm… that’s odd… :angel:
Winter: yeah, I do really like that about BlogHer. You’re getting paid for your traffic – which is, in my opinion, as it should be.
NYCWD: you have some connection to Cereal??? :wtf:
Marissa: oh the connection is simple. KArrenn = a really crazy police officer in Alabaster, AL
KArrennKim:First let me say how completely dumb it was for you to comment here AND on the photo site with the same IP address you used before.
Also? You used an email address that can be tracked to you. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out that you were Kimberly Mann, a police officer who had been suspended for domestic violence.
I hope it doesn’t put your job in jeopardy (because GOSH! I would feel just HORRIBLE about that!) – but your comments meant to “teach me a lesson” on my children’s pictures were submitted to your ISP for abuse.
And your email address (not the fake, the real one at kimt205@yahoo.com ) has been sent to my mom. She asked me for it, and I just cannot deny my mother ANYTHING.
Oh, and one last thing?
I usually let trolls slide by. Because seriously sweetheart? Your mindless rantings are more funny than harmful and NOBODY CARES what you think.
But the shit you pulled on my kids? Well, that just seems like a cry for help from a mentally disturbed person.
And I am nothing if not helpful.
(And also? Don’t fuck with my kids. Hell hath no furry Kimberly, I promise you.)

Oh SHOOT! I forgot to include the links.
I’d hate for anyone to think I was being maliciously slanderous and not properly quoting my sources.

“CALERA:
Officer arrested, placed on leave
A Calera police officer was placed on administrative leave Monday after being arrested, along with her husband, on misdemeanor domestic violence charges in Alabaster. It is the third time since November that a Calera police officer has been arrested on misdemeanor charges. In this case, Kimberly Mann, 38, and Gregory Mann, 51, were taken into custody Sunday at 4:20 a.m. after police went to their Knightsbridge Drive home to investigate a call to 911, Alabaster police Deputy Chief Curtis Rigney said. Calera police Chief Sean Lemley said Mann has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Mann has been with the department for about two years.”

I love the photos, baby girl. Even the one from the iPhone, which made me giggle. Only because I didn’t have to write the check.
And as for KAaren or whatever she calls herself?

Jesus Mary and Joseph, as I was posting my comment, you were posting the info on your little nutbag.
Again…

Perhaps that “affair” remark came from something in her own experience?
Don’t fuck with my grandkids.

Okay,Britt…i clickie’d.
Will try to remember to click each time I come by to read. Except the Amazon, since I’m not buying.

:clap:
I came, clicked and chuckled too.

So you are saying NOT to click on the ads? Everytime someone tells me NOT to do something I will do the complete opposite out of spite. I warned you.
Reply
I’m always intrigued by people who judge someone’s total worth by the mere fraction of their life they get to display on a blog.
Ignorance is still alive and kicking, I see.

this is Rachel , Kims stepdaughter. I was mad at her for taking away my car and privileges and posted those things on your page. I did not mean to get her in trouble but I was mad and wanted payback. I didnt know it would be this way I was just messing around on a dare. She was asleep and didnt know about it until she got an email . I am sorry. Please don’t take it out on her, she is having enough problems in an abusive relationship with dad and she loves me and is trying . I am sorry again and please don’t hate her because I was mad and stupid. Please don’t hurt her.

So you’re saying I should allow ads on your site, because I use an ad blocker. Hmmm.
Reply
I don’t like the drama. I don’t understand it and it just makes my stomach hurt. I know you can take it, but yuck!
But I will click on your ads because it seems like the right thing to do. Hugs!

I might be a little creeped out by the amazon ad… anyone else get Intro to statistics?

I just finished having a long talk and hopefully she has realized the gravity of what she did. Britt I apologize and am mortified by her actions and ask your forgiveness. I am at the lowest point in my life right now and she has just made it worse. Again I am truly sorry, you will not have a problem with her again, and I will be gone as well. I have lost everything in the past 5 weeks and now one of the only things that gave me a bit of relief and will is gone too. I am truly sorry again, I cannot do anything right.
This world , Internet and real life, would be better off without me on it. I am sorry for the hurt.

This is reverse psychology, right? You say don’t click, but you really WANT me to click, right?
Click, click, click… how much is that? $5?

You are so damned funny! I can not even say anything I am laughing so hard.

I just had to come out of lurkdom to say that I clicked on everything twice just to pay for the admission of the drama unfolding on your comments!

Britt’s Mom: consider the occasional picture here my gift to you.
You know, in lieu of me sending any actual gifts.
Stephanie: you did what? I’m sorry. I have no idea what you’re talking about. :dunno: :angel:
Marney: the chuckling part is crucial.
Mindy: dam you dirty rebels!!!
Hilly: comments like those aren’t even a judgment of me. They are.. I don’t know… foaming of the mouth?
Rachel: I have no intention of hurting anyone. Nor am I going to at all pretend that the comments I deleted from the pictures of my kids are in anyway “OK” because you have now apologized.
Karl: you have ads on YOUR site – and you use a blocker?!?! You should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!
radioactive girl tori: does it? Hmmm… I don’t know what gave you that impression… but thank you.
kim: intro to statistics!?!? Good lord woman – you MUST be leading an exciting life. LOL
NYCWD: dirty rotten traitor is what he is.
Kim: the world is not ever “better off” without someone in it.
And I’m sorry, but where my kids are concerned, I have very little sympathy to dole out.
However, as I said in the email, I hope that you are aware of the resources available to you to get help.
hello haha narf: OH NO!!!!
Finn: $11, actually.
themuttprincess: YAY!! :clap:
Kathy: LOL, well, you’re coming out of lurkdom with bells on then, aren’t you? Welcome!
Turnbaby: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Captain Steve: me you can fuck with and I will try to see your side.
My kids? Not so much. (You can’t see it here – it happened over on the Photo site. Lest you think I am just a raving lunatic. LOL)
Undomestic Diva: thanks! I should teach calligraphy I think.

Delurking because I can’t help myself. Holy crap. I have never seen anything like this in anyone’s comments ever. Miss Britt, I really really like you!

You’re shameless. :lmao: :clap: Nice.

The ONE time I haven’t been to the photo site, and look what I missed!
Man, that is some crazy crap right there!
Anyway, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever even noticed the ads! Is that weird?!
I will click on the ones that give you $$. It’s the least I can do, since you give me lots to laugh and think about when I’m here.
Reply
Do ya have to belong to BlogHer to get BlogHer ads on your site? I mean, obviously, they want sponsorship to be connected to them….but since my site doesn’t get nearly as much traffic as yours (read: I’m a loser), they wouldn’t be losing a fortune to me or anything!
Anyway….love all of the new techie stuff! And thanks for the enlightenment of the RSS feeds….I got hooked up! I am SO tech-savvy now!

For what it’s worth, I always click through to Amazon from a blogger before I buy anything. I’ll put you in my rotation.

Karl is a traitor… especially since he runs ads too!!!
Funny… both Twitter and the Woopra Engine 20 are down at the same time!

OK, geez, I’ll turn the ad blocker off…for you.

Wow. This is an action-packed comments section. What a kerfuffle. Moving on – dear Britt, I bow to your technical prowess. And I am delighted your ads are funding your trip to New York. Good on ya, mate!

Oh shit, there are far too many Kim and Kimberly’s that comment on your site. Shit shit…as I am reading through the comments, I was thinking, she better know this is not coming from this Kimberly. I am the one who is moving the hell out of the United States if a republican gets elected president.
