Life Is A Tri, New and Improved

What's up with Life Is A Tri?  Thanks for asking!  Improvements include...

  • A new and improved Blogger layout; now I can keep the dang thing maintained without slogging through HTML code.  I think.
  • A more organized ad strategy.  I Deleted Amazon.com's ads and re-did all the AdSense stuff (though still no hope of getting rich...)
  • More pleasing colors, at least to me. Other opinions are welcome.
  • I finally figured out how to make the Verdana and Trebuchet fonts universal.  Except for the title's classic look which is fine the way it is.
  • Some new photos, and there's more down a ways in the sidebar.
  • Now you can Twitter all my daily workouts (and some other cool stuff.)
  • An updated race list though there's only one registration so far until I figure out where I'll be living.
  • A new and improved list of my un-sponsors.  ATTENTION UN-SPONSORS: while I HAVEN'T been bought, I certainly CAN be.  (And on that note, see my question below..)
  • An updated blogroll with tri-buddies new and old, and one Awesome Training Partner. Like I say, I read 'em, you should too.
Over the next few days, I'm adding more tri-blogs to the blogroll.  Let me know if you fit my criteria for inclusion, namely (1) you blog frequently and (2) with a unique point of view that I find interesting and/or amusing.

Now, for the question: a company contacted me, wanting to advertise on Life Is A Tri.  So what should I charge?  And let me know if you want to advertise here.  I'm really cheap and reasonably effective.  Honest.  Make me an offer.

I guess all those google searches for "porn -outback +midwest +sucks" that you see in your site counter profile are finally paying off.

I don't think I would let Hello Kitty advertise on your blog.

yee-aw
i meet only one of the two criteria...option "b" - unique viewpoint...I am the art tchr...as far away from a triathlete as one might get...and yet...
like the manhattan trnsfr..."Popsicle Toes?" ... "Scotch and Soda" and (yes) "Boy frm N.Y.C."

I AM unique...just like everyone else!

Good advice, Comm! No 'Hello Kitty' on this site, nosiree.

And, to art tchr, get a blog and start writing!
