There's a giant ad stuck at the bottom of this page, and I put it there on purpose.

I just wanted my readers to know that they're not seeing things and they're not infected with spyware. That ad is real. I'm learning how to put ads on my blog. However, don't fool around with it, don't touch it, don't click it, unless you really, seriously want to go look at their page and buy whatever they're selling. I'm not supposed to encourage anyone to click on it. The people who click the ad have to be real people who seriously are interested in whatever the ad is talking about, not people who click on it just to be nice to me. So, just look but don't touch, unless you're really serious. No fooling around with the ad. The ad is probably looking at cookies that are saved in your browsers so that it can decide which ad to show you. If you don't want it to do that, you can turn off cookies in your browser. I'm not sure how to do that with each and every browser. I'm only experimenting right now, just seeing if I can get the ads to work, so it might not stay that way forever. I just need to learn how to do it, so please pardon me for putting up something really big that takes up a lot of space on the screen. Eventually I will get things set up the way I want.
