Taking my Blog seriously. Blog Catalog. Feedburner. Adsense

I have decided it is time to put some effort into my website.

To start with I have been looking at blog aspects. I have signed up to blog catalog, which is a great blog directory and also feedburner for its easy to manage pingshot feature (which includes pinging autopinger which I have always used in the past) and useful feed tools.

I have also spent some time placing and choosing colours for google adsense (www.google.com/adsense), which now appear and the top, bottom and on the menu. I am happy with the colours, but will revisit them later. I have compromised in optimising positioning as I have a photo gallery so gone for rather generic positioning. I am hoping to make enough money off adsense to cover hosting.

I got some useful info from adsense tips from problogger , but generally quite a basic but wordy overview.

I am still searching for useful tools to assist my blogging. If anyone knows of anything useful, feel free to comment.
