Anatomy of a Blog Post

Apart from raising awareness of peritoneal mesothelioma every Monday (the day we aim to publish our weekly posts), one of my our goals for this site is to shamelessly produce ad revenue. Since I'm not made out of money and woman has grandiose visions of what this wedding and our life after will be, I must grovel at your ability to move that cursor and click on an ad. If I were a laser hair removal specialist from Washington, DC, I might be able to afford finer luxuries but since I'm not, here's what all the doodads and gizmos on our site do.

First, of course, are the ads. These are the ones we would appreciate you clicking. You'll typically find a Google ad at the top right of the site

as well as one at the bottom of every page.

If you were wondering why I mentioned peritoneal mesothelioma and a career path as a laser hair removal specialist in Washington, it's because supposedly these are the highest paying Google keywords. We'll see if this is true.

One of our newest features is the ability to Digg a post.

Basically by digging a post, we can potentially get more viewers. And more viewers is potentially more ad revenue. Did I say shameless? I meant it. This wedding ain't going to pay for itself with benchmark lending or Best Buy gift cards.

Here are some other highlighted elements we've added:

• We don't get any ad revenue from clicking on their link but we still encourage you to visit our wedding planner, Prestigious Planning. They're the best in the Bay Area.
  
  
  


• If you're familiar with Yelp then you'll know what "reactions" are.
  
  
  
  They're an anonymous and easy way to leave some input and you can click on all three if you want.


• Every so often we also have polls. Every one we've had so far can be anonymous and we may use the responses in some form in the future so it's more fun if our reader(s) respond.


• If you want to keep up with updates there are various ways. I've never tried any of the options but feel free to test them out.
  
  


• Woman found these wedding stats stuff so she wanted to add it. Clicking on these don't produce ad revenue but some of them are interesting.
  
  


• And lastly, each post also has a "comments" section which are not anonymous but woman gets butt-hurt if no one leaves anything.

We are planning to change the look and feel in the near future but for the most part, the elements I've mentioned will likely remain in some form. I'm sorry it was a rather boring blog so if you feel ripped off and want a refund, unfortunately there's no blog equivalent of a Wisconsin lemon law for you to pursue. At least it's not peritoneal mesothelioma.
