That's a nice list with good photos and all on one page so you can easily scroll. I hate how many web sites make you click one by one so they can serve a ton of ads.... I should probably return, turn off adblock and click an ad just to say "thanks!" (I sure wish people would do that for my sites but that I think is like hoping Apple can invent another new high margin iPhone type business every few years just as some hoped HP could keep inventing new inkjet and laser printer businesses every few years in the 1990s....)

Hmmm..... I used to write more content with lists and other useful information but almost nobody clicks ads these days so there is no real incentive to write content on my web sites. Perhaps it is the universe telling me to concentrate more on my newsletter and work towards retiring while letting the younger folks chase page clicks with the constant revisions to web sites to get indexed.

I've been "struggling" with the San Jose Mercury News.... do I continue with getting the daily paper which I enjoy reading but each year to stay in business they
  1. increase prices
  2. merge with other local papers so the news is more regional
  3. reduce content while putting more ads on formerly ad free places like the front page. Sometimes they go so far as to cloak the paper in an advertisement page and put stickers with ads over parts I want to read...
  4. Improve their digital version so if you have a fast internet connection and a large tablet or large PC screen, the experience is fairly good, almost as good as reading the physical paper since you can scan full pages at a time.
