ALBTALBS Celebrates Our 7th Blogiversary with a $7 Ad Spot Sale

5 Replies

Hi friends! So, as you see, ALBTALBS turned 7! No real giveaways or other celebratory things planned for now. … If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know my “try too hard” … died? (A while ago…) Also I’ve had … you know… *gestures expansively* a lot going on. And because this is a question I see still … “What is ALBTALBS?” … ALBTALBS = A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet. The name of this site. 😀

I’m really trying to bring ALBTALBS back though, with more regular posting, and I’ve got an awesome review crew and help and just, major shout out to N.R., Babs, Karen, Aidee, and Mary. [We may not be the most prolific, but we are stalwart!]

So anyway, for now, the most celebratory thing I’m doing is offering a month of ad space for $7. This will be the lowest price offered, and is good through January 15th. (Normally ad spots are $15/month.) If you’re interested, please let me know. Space is limited. Continue reading →

Shout Out to Cynthia Sax and Cathy Pegau for “Saving” ALBTALBS + A Sale!

Hi friends! Oh my gosh have I got a lot to say – but I’m not really in a place to do it – literally and figuratively. I’m also typing this flat on my back so excuse any typos please.

For a number of years I’ve been dealing with [hacking?] issues. Oftentimes the site bandwidth would exceed my monthly allotment, and I was able to “boutique” buy an extra gig or two to tide me over. The policy changed (without word or notice >:( ) so I had to upgrade my hosting plan, instead of leaving ALBTALBS down for the rest of the month. (And ideally preventing it from happening over and over.)

So … upgrading costs money. Which I don’t have. [More on that later…] And I decided to offer advertising space again at a discount. I’m offering ad space for $10/month if you buy three or more months. If you want to buy a full year I’m willing to discuss an additional discount. Otherwise, each ad space is $15/month for now.

I run the ad as a widget, so people will still see it even if they have adblockers installed on their browsers. Each image can also be linked to anywhere on the web you want it to go.

Because of Cynthia Sax and Cathy Pegau, I was able to offset some of the costs of bringing ALBTALBS back online, and I am so pleased and grateful. They deserve this shout out, and for their ads to be highlighted. 🙂
