>Ok — so bear with me for this. I am trying to get things moving in the direction of sponsors.

I need to test some out, and they need a positive response… or else they charge me a non-active fee. I’m giving it a shot, and they are retailers and sites that I normally recommend anyhow. I will hopefully have an expanded “Market Place” section where there will be different links for each category, such as Movies, Music, Video Games, Computer Hardware, Computer Software, Car Parts/Mods and anything else that looks like it might have promise. There’s even a sponsor (not available quite yet) who gives $4 to $50 to take surveys. Another is a new/used college supplies site that has everything from notepads to lamps and furniture with dorm rooms in mind.

I look forward to adding more interesting things soon, so keep checking back.

Now this certainly isn’t creating a commercial feel — it’s all on a separate page, a voluntary pop-up. Click the link and it opens. No sneaky stuff, and it’s legit companies.

For now, I ask that you take a look – let me know if something isn’t working right, if a sponsor’s link isn’t coming up right, or if it causes issues with anyone’s browser. It’s fairly straight coding, no sneaky javascript — so shouldn’t be any issues.

Especially check out MusicMatch Jukebox – there’s a free version, and if you want the additional abilities of ripping in high quality and burning – it’s only $19.95. I bought my copy 2 years ago, and it’s still eligible for all future updates.
