Building an Ad Management System - Step 1

Building an Ad Management System - Step 1

No, I’m not starting another project and I’m not starting another blog series. First I had a problem/question/idea , then I did a little research , and now I’m just doing a little prototyping to see what’s feasible. I would like to use ads from…

How many ad networks/services are there?

Following my last post where I questioned the value of building an ad engine for my own purposes, I began doing a little research on the different ad networks/services to figure out what it would take to support the more well known services. I knew…

Managing Ads

Managing Ads

I’m sure that you know that I have some Google Adsense ads on this site. I don’t use them too much here because I don’t want them to be too obtrusive, but I figure if the couple of dollars that they provide a month will pay for this site’s hosting…

WhatIWantMost Adding RSS and Inviting Friends

Up to this point in the development of the WhatIWantMost project I have chosen to implement the simplest solution possible to complete each task (or at least that I could think of) and that will not end today. That approach is of course a…

WhatIWantMost The Web 2.0 Logo

WhatIWantMost The Web 2.0 Logo

I put together my own take on a Web 2.0 logo using the Web 2.0 Webdesign Tutorials on the Dr. Web Weblog. Of course part of doing the exercise is to poke humor at Web 2.0 design, but I also think that I might have come up with a clever little logo…
