Scrolling Google AdSense ads and a broken image uploader

by psionmark on April 3, 2008

I see that Google are now showing the scrolling AdSense ads on all their text ad blocks now. I’m not a great fan of the arrows - they stand out like a sore thumb. Worse still, you don’t even get paid if a visitor clicks on anything other than the initially loaded ads! Seems like a win-win for Google and a loss for web site owners!

What do you reckon? I think they’re plain ugly.

Following on from my post about Wordpress 2.5, I’m loving it more and more as I get to know it. There are some teething problems, as you’d expect of anything this size. The latest gotcha is that the WP-ContactForm breaks the image uploader. Instead of the nice new whizzy uploader, you now get:

Which is not terribly useful. The workaround is to disable WP-ContactForm if you need to upload an image, then re-enable it once you’re done. I’m using cformII here on Psionmark, so will look at integrating that into my other blogs.
