A Penny Saved

Since Sally and JD have been carrying the writing load lately ( thanks guys! ), I’ve had a bit of time to make some small code updates.  Some you will see, some are more “behind the scenes” stuff.  Basically I’m just trying to clean up the code here and make things load more quickly.  

As far as visual stuff, I’ve moved the archives to their own page.  That helps clean up the sidebar ( there were too many links ), and makes room for a new sponsors section.  I’ve had several advertisers ask why I don’t offer any button style ads, so now I will.  I will be incorporating 4 125×125 ads in the sidebar - always relevant ads, of course.  If you have a relevant site or service and you’d like to advertise on A Penny Saved, please contact me.

I also fixed my search box!  The first time my wife saw A Penny Saved in it’s current design, she pointed at the search box and said “what in the world is that?  Is it a search box or what?  It doesn’t say.”  So, honey, I fixed it for you.  Now it is clearly labeled as a search box - no confusion.

Last but not least, I’m in the process of consolidating the categories.  The category list is unwieldy - it’s far too long.  This is going to be an ongoing process, so please bear with me.  My goal is to make sure all posts end up in the best category, so everything works out well. 

Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the goings-on around here.  I’m not posting as often but I didn’t move to Kazakhstan, and I’m still around.  Here’s to saving your pennies, and building your net worth.
