Short overview of couple of new additions on Parokeets blog.

First change in the most obvious one – new background color. No more grayish background – the spring is almost here!

Second one are Google ads. In the next few months we’ll be testing different layouts and their general appearance. Some kind of ads were necessary as all the expenses went way up. Shipping, server running costs … And we would really like to keep all the giveaways open to all of you and maybe host more of smaller ones with new Essence/Catrice LE products. If ads manage to cover at least our shipping costs, we’ll keep them. But in all honesty we’re not really holding our breaths as they can only be displayed on English part of the blog, a lot of you has ad-blockers on … But we’re still prepared to give them a try for a little while at least.
You can currently see them in sidebar, above the comments and one in between excerpts on a home page.

Last thing is Hellocotton widget at the bottom of the sidebar. I already mentioned this RSS service in GFC is gone – now what post. I’ve been testing it for a month now and I can say that I find it easy to use and “clean” looking … and it’s not crashing all the time like GFC.

New newsletter is also in draft stage, so expect one in the next few days.
