  It's too bad. I've been hoping they'd resurrect the service soon so I could begin to use this blog without the annoying banner ad at the top. It's not the banner ad itself that bothers me, it is the fact that I don't control it. And I don't care that it costs money to get rid of the banner ad. I'm okay with that; free rides don't come as cheap as others think. Oh well, go figure. In either case since my domain has no home at the moment this will have to become my new one. At least it qualifies as graphically pleasing. :)
