Stryker has set up a news site for the military over here, and it is funded with bolgads.
I have mixed feelings about the ads. I understand people using them to pay for bandwidth, and maybe a buck or two for beer. I just don’t visit those sites as often as I once did simply because if a single ad holds things up, I’d rather press on to someplace else.
I have the same problem with Sitemeter on my site. I’ve considered getting rid of it. But the traffic report often gives me entre to another blogger who visited, and allows me to check out their thoughts. I’m not overly concerned about how many hits I get, the links are what matters.
So…check out the new military news page, and if you have a recommendation on site activity tracking, let me know.
As far as I know, the actual content loads on my site first before all the stuff to the side (at least it does with Firebird).
