WordPress.com has several new themes. I am not sure if the one I selected is new, but I love it. What do you think?

The Lat & Long of IT…
I have created an application that provides geo data [lat/long
coordinates] based on your address+zip —
For more information see this link — Q’s Wire… Post
After obtaining your coordinates:
add to the <head> section of your web page or blog template:
<meta name=”ICBM” content=” XXX.XXXXX, XXX.XXXXX “>
<meta name=”DC.title” content=” THE NAME OF YOUR SITE “>
replacing XXX.XXXXX, XXX.XXXXX with the lat long information retrieved
from the program.
For more information see this link — http://geourl.org/add.html
Technorati and several other blogging reference sites use blog geo data.

Making Money With Ads…
I keep reading about those that claim the ads they maintain on their blogs provide enough income to offset the cost of web hosting.
I have ads on all three of my blogs [see Technorati profile] and belong to major affiliate programs which I regularly use for advertising. Thus far this year, I have made $13.88 from all of these ads including AdSense [actually, this income is totally from AdSense]. Ad placements are not limited to my blogs. I have ads on WiredPages, NS&J Forums, and my main business site.
I have a respectable amount of unique visitors [statistics provided by Blog Squad used as guideline] using this blog’s stats and negating the other QiSoftware properties. Bottom line — what I have earned for the entire year through advertising — would not pay for one month of my web hosting.
How is this being done? Are these claims realistic? I read these claims often in forum posts and from bloggers using traffic exchange services. The more recent claim was found through a group [LinkedInBloggers] e-mail.
Is my inability to do the same because of Washington or am I simply an inept ad manager? What are your experiences [not with whether or not I am an inept ad manager... ahhh humor..] — ad income?
