The time is fast approaching when all sites using Google’s Adsense will require a suitable Privacy Policy or the webmasters will lose their Adsense account.
Being the go-getter I am I delayed updating my sites for as long as possible but the May 25th deadline was looming large on the horizon so I thought I’d better get the finger out and get on with it and bring all of my sites into line with the new terms and conditions, specifically, the Privacy Policy.
Lovely Jennifer Slegg of Jensense.com,
highlighted the Privacy Policy requirements in February, followed by a handy copy / paste
Adsense Privacy Policy template followed by
the do and don’ts of Adsense. Essential reading for all you Adsense publishers out there.

Way back in the early days of the Firefox web browser I enthusiastically embraced what was then the new browser on the block, ignoring the glitches and occasional crash. Through it’s various incarnations from v0.7 I stuck with the gutsy little browser as it stood up to the mainstream and security plagued Internet Explorer - and then the unforgivable happened - I lost my bookmarks. All of them. To my dismay I realised I had neglected to make the regular backups I normally did. All in all I lost 2 months worth of top-notch websites not to mention my carefully structured bookmarks layout. I was gutted. It was a glitch of course but I never forgave it and stopped using Firefox, only turning to it when I was doing some Internet related work and required some of the plugins that make Interneteering that much easier.
So what has tempted me back to using Firefox? Simple. A nifty little plugin called Adblock Plus that blocks all those irritating, cumbersome and seizure-inducing ads that have become the blight of every surfer. This little plugin virtually eliminates them all! Bliss.
