Google Ads are not intrusive and just are there for readers to read, nothing intrusive but when bloggers are asking those to pay to view their writings, to me are not true bloggers. There are many ways to make money blogging but it must be combined with the proper business sense of integrity.

Yes, I'm tired of hearing about how outrageous the PPP concept is, and although I have reservations about the whole mess of Pay Per Post I agree that there is more enough hypocrisy to go around.

HMTK is Steve's 'No Frills' HackMaster Toolkit. It's a piece of software I used to develop... until my license ran out and I decided not to renew. That would be correct.

I just assumed that HMTK was something along the lines of "His Majesty The King." A tongue-in-cheek over-the-top kind of name. I went to Steve's site, rummaged around and saw that it stands for HackMaster Toolkit.

Good luck with healthywebdesign though ... and keep up the good work. Leigh -- PPP has already made an about-face with disclosure, requiring it in some form (but, according to Bob Scoble, not in its best form) what with the FTC issuing an opinion in December about deceptive disclosure practices. I've said it before -- its going to be around for awhile for no other reason that some bloggers are happy to take their money. As I said, checks and balances are probably best ... but I'm not sure how that can be created at the moment. Cheers tony.
