New York Renovator

Just a quick notes about some of the blog ads that appear in my sidebars: I cannot control the content of the other blogs. For the most part, I am able to carefully choose the ad widgets and other blog advertisers’ links in the sidebars. I always check them to make sure they are “family-friendly.” But a blog may appear family-friendly for me one day, and then a week later have a bunch of raunchy posts with images. Such a case happened recently. I apologize if any of you were shocked by any content if you clicked the ads. Just for the record, my kids read my blogs, and I always advise them never to click on any ads without my permission, and never to “surf” blogs without my presence with them. I always check and monitor the content first.

An ad community I’m a member of, Entrecard, has recently announced that they will be placing their own pre-approved advertiser’s widgets on our blogs. This is a bone of bitter contention amongst us in the blogging community, who feel that Entrecard has no right to insert ads into our blogs without our approval. I am thinking of either dumping EC or placing the widget at the bottom of my blog. Things are still developing it seems, so I’m hoping things will work out as they always have with EC.

Anyway, I’m letting you know that, while I am careful to monitor all my ads and the sites they point back to, sometimes the sites turn, and post things I greatly disapprove. I will deny these ads any “air time” on my blog. If you come across an inappropriate site, please drop me an email, leave a comment, or use the Contact Me form to contact me personally. This is a godly, family-friendly blog and I want to keep it this way! Thanks for your support.

Lady Rose at Entrecard Favorites chose this blog as her favorite of the day. I am so honored! Somebody actually likes my rants about electrical circuit panels, gardening, and dreams of teak patio furniture and Bella wood flooring! I got a nice new badge, too.

If they lived in NJ I’d hire them for sure. My house is definitely in need of some fixing up and a touch of renovating – like the cracks in the patio, the weather worn back door, but I digress, so back to the blog at hand.

Blog Description: “A blog about home life and the challenges of renovating an 1855 house in Upstate New York.”

This blog offers a ton of tips and ideas for home improvements, renovating, home gardening and most are tips that will save you money as well. The blog is well written, nicely laid out, good photos, and you’ll find a laugh or two.

Entrecard Favorites Blog is a great blog in its own right. i wonder if Lady Rose has favorited herself? It’s a great site to visit and discover other great new blogs.
