Over the past couple of weeks, I have been considering removing the title from this blog.  The current title, “Almost, Not Yet” would be removed in lieu of attempting to better personal brand my name.

What do you think?  Should I remove the title?  Does anyone like the title and thinks it should stay?  Any other bloggers that might be reading have an opinion on this?

Let me know what you think by either commenting below or shooting me an email.  Thanks for your opinion.

Yep, that’s right, I have gotten rid of Adsense.  This is for a multitude of reasons but the primary one is that after over 1 year, I have only earned a small amount.  This is probably due to the lack of distinct focus on my website, but there is no reason to have them if they are not earning.

Also, my page view numbers are not high and this is probably also the reason.  I have decided that until I can justify having ads on my website that I will not use Adsense.  You will see some smaller ads placed around the site, but none of them are going to be intrusive.

If my viewership goes up, I might consider bringing back advertising on the site, but I felt that it wasn’t making me enough that I could justify subjecting my readers to them.  In some cases the ads were not even relevant.

I have been really busy the last couple of weeks with other personal stuff that has caused me to not really be able to write the articles for this week.

For this I humbly apologize and beg forgiveness.

I will spend some time this week writing some killer articles for you next week.

Once again I apologize for this, and hope you will visit some of the other awesome content here on Almost, Not Yet such as:

Today marks our one year anniversary here at Almost, Not Yet. One year ago today made that ever so wonder “Hello World” post that got this website started.  Since then, we have gone through 413 posts, 47 comments, 3,168 spam comments, and 3 layout changes.  All in all, it was a very nice year.

I would like to take this time to thank my readers and RSS subscribers for continuing to come back and check out the new content posted here.  It means a lot when you guys read and comment on the stories and without you, the loyal reader, I would still be in complete obscurity as opposed to the mild obscurity.

As we move into our second year here at Almost, Not Yet, you can expect to see more posts and even more quality in those posts (I hope).  You will also see posts that tie in more with the radio show that I co-host, Power of Information.  Which means more how-to and insight articles related to technology.  If you have a topic you would like to see me cover here, please leave a comment or even shoot me an email, I promise that I am no where near popular enough to not be able to read every message you folks send me.  So let the ideas fly.

Again, thank you for reading and I hope that you stick around for what is to come.
