Coming Unmoored’s Layout
No, you’re not seeing things, guys. I’ve gone back temporarily to the old layout for the blog. Odds are you’re going to see further changes over the next few weeks as I rethink how I want to manage content.
Along with several other areas of my life, I feel like I got off-track with the direction of Coming Unmoored. Now that I have some time and energy again I hope to take things in some new directions.
I had also wanted to experiment some with advertising. I think I’ve now got a reasonable sense of what works on this site and what doesn’t. I think I’ve reached the conclusion that the visually distracting Google Adsense ads are going to go permanently away. The Textlink ads in actual article entries and those that appear at the bottom of the RSS feed are going to remain for the present.
Rather ironically, the past two months in which I’ve had very little time to devote to the blog are actually the first two in which the blog turned a profit after all operating expenses. Go figure.
More than anything, though, I hope to continue to grow Coming Unmoored as both a record of my personal journey and as a resource for others making their own.

Glad to see you back. Let me know if I can help when you have some idea of what direction you want to go.
Nice to see you back. Nice to hear you saw some of the revenue potential too. It seems that one of the biggest factors (after quality and quantity of content) is time… and as those three things grow so does revenue, naturally, without much help from us.
I personally like this theme better than the last. Be sure to checkout my theme too… Basic Simplicity… Kent’s using it now and it’s super simple, free of course, widget friendly, and the look and feel can be customized easily. I suspect it may be too minimalist for most folks but it has it’s advantages.
I’m not on FB anymore… although I’m headed back there… but Kent mentioned you had some bad luck at work. Really sorry to hear that… and I hope you’ve found a way to make lemonade from those sour lemons.
Looking forward to seeing more.
I just now discovered some content trickling in via the RSS feed. Good to have you back!

So it seems “Coming UnMoored” has in fact come a tad unmoored?
Art follows life, and Stephanie Doll, you are living art for a certainty.
So thy go with the flow, instead of a river, in this case ist working moments.
If You are the warrior Princess I believe thou to be, you will not be making any olde lemonade but a sweet-tart lemonade chiffon pie somehow out of the ingredients available to you.
Keep up your valiant efforts, keep the verbiage coming so we can hear your voice from afar.
Happy New Year and all the best,
john
