Channel4.com – IT Crowd a new program that I have seen advertised, but never watched, has prompted a flood of enquiries about zx81 kits – theyre linking to my old site. Does this qualify as an authority site?

Transparent Screens – a photoset on Flickr
Just came across these cool backgrounds on flickr. Just the kind of thing that appeals to the inner geek in me.

I’ve been continuing my quest to source the ultimate adsense theme for wordpress. There’s some interesting comments made here – but I think I’m going to go it alone. The theme I am using on this site at the moment (problogger clean) does a great job, but it is just too cluttered for my liking. Riki Tiki Tavi made a couple of mods for me on the kubrick template sidebar at my new childrens health blog – think I might build a three column with these sidebar mods.
Bought a copy of Ebook compiler yesterday for Pete to use compiling the ebooks we have been putting together. From what Pete tells me the program allows you to write an ebook in html form, complete with links and images and anything else you might wish to add, and then to compile it into an excecutable package.
So far we have got excellent content for two pregnancy ebooks, a baby massage ebook and also a childhood diseases ebook.
Ebook creation is another part of the drive to diversify promotion techniques. It’s a viral thing – they spread quickly by friends sharing them via email and even get sold on ebay. Also, selling or giving away ebooks through a site should satisfy Google’s ‘made for adsense‘ clause in the terms and conditions, which is something I am fairly sure that I worry about too much. Is a truely useful website with original, well written, information packed content whose only revenue model is adsense going to be considered a ‘made for adsense’ site? I think not.

Searching google for ‘made for adsense‘ provides sponsored links to sites such as AdsenseReady.com which sell spammy adsense ready sites. Surely this can’t be good? Whatever happened to the ‘made for adsense’ clause in the t&c’s?
