My newest blog post is:

The Princes Trust & The London Marathon 2012

Argh- what am I doing wrong? I used to be able to do it!

ah yes, for any non twitter followers I am @clairerandall.

I am reading some books and very nearly playing a drinking game

hacked

Oh yes, of course! Duh!!
I've been hacked

Ah yes. We didn't do much faffing around with the, ahem, family planning. I will leave the readership to speculate as to why not. Tee hee.

Grace, I is ejukated really! I'm just so tired....

Hello all

Flamingo, I enjoyed your guest blogger. There are so many taboos when it comes to, well parenting, but breastfeeding especially.

Halloween craft from me

Tee, hope your DS's are better soon.

I posted yesterday about Apple Day and the Abundance project. out2playinthegarden.blogspot.com/
I'm new to this forum on mumsnet. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Trills I love those books. We used to sneak into my mum's room when we were little to read the caveman sex bits.

I actually left the house alone this weekend.

How many of you have adverts on your blogs?

I keep getting a pop-up saying I can "monetise" my blog and earn cash for doing so (not that I'm sure I necessarily get enough hits to do so but time...) but I'm torn between doing that and whether ads would put people off reading. Afaik they're google ads so less intrusive than some of the mn banner ones...

I don't wannabe. Not sure how I feel about them really. I don't like blogs that are heaving with ads.

Hi Gardening mum - off to read your post in a minute :)

Wannabe - I won't ever have ads on my site, except the odd random ones that wordpress puts on there, until I can stop being stingy enough to pay for adblock.

It doesn't put me off reading a blog - I always add blogs that I think I might like to Google Reader so I don't see stuff like adverts etc anyway. :)

When I click through to a blog via a link on here or something, I don't instantly click away if there's adverts. I'm not there for the decor. :)

I've had some adds on my site but made nothing from them. As far as I'm concerned you are better to do a campaign or a sponsored post once or twice a month and get Some £££ that way.

Righty - I have an adults only dessert on my blog tonight, and lord knows I needed it :)

Chocolate Orange Mousse with Grand Marnier

Off to go and snoop read your blogs now!

Wannabe - Google pays absolute peanuts for ads. I would keep the blog ad free until you have a reasonable amount of hits, then monetise via something like BlogHer network or Amazon, rather than Google. That's what I am doing at the moment.

I won't put ads on my personal site. I may do some on my pro site once my redesign is done!

I thought I would have a go at a blogging prompt .... www.purplemum.com/2011/10/hopes-dreams-2/

betty, all I see is white space! I assume there are suppose to be graphics or something?

Morning. More politics from me and some select quotes from Simon Heffer, the columnist I hate even more than Liz Jones but not quite as much as Little john here
