Re: [DIYbio] Blogs and Ads

I'd say "don't do ads, use flattr and gittip to get support". But, if
you must use ads, project wonderful have a reputation for being the only
guys not to spy on or screw with you and your visitors.

As for me, I block *all* ads. If I want to find content, I'll seek it
out, or be recommended by a friend. But I'll enthusiastically pledge you
on gittip weekly or flattr, so please do give them some space on the
blog. :)
