I’m currently testing Kontera on Money Blogger, but it’s one of those things I have a few reservations about.

These ads are being served through AdToll, and I have to say I really like them. They’re eye-catching without being overly distracting and allow advertisers to place [...]

Well the iPod Nano competition has finished, and the winner was Andrew Bowers. His iPod is in the post and I hope he enjoys it as much as I have.
