Yarrcade and its Relocation

If you experience any flaws please do not hesitate to contact me (it’s kegogrog @ yarrcade . com (without the spaces)).

Thanks and Yoho!

Nice. New installation, activated Akismet, BOOM: notices everywhere. The functions register_sidebar_widget, register_widget_control, clean_url and _c are depreceated. I just edited the akismet.php to get rid of those errors.

Monetizing a blog: Rotate Adsense ads with 5 lines of php

So, to test the often stated advantage of text ads versus image ads I did set up two skyscrapers (160×600) and use the following code to randomly (should be 50/50 in the long run) show them.
