New banners in bg’s feeds

Just finished up creating a couple of quick banners that I hope to start displaying in the footer of the feeds that get sent out from this site. While never a “huge” fan of having to have such forms of advertising, I am learning more as I go about the essentials of earning income. And sometimes you have to find ways to make that happen. Banner units in feeds seem to becoming more and more “mainstream”, at least in a wide cross section of my subscription threads.

Now it will come down to numbers of units. How many is too many? I’ve seen some feeds (note: feeds that are no longer in my reader!) that have 3, 4, or more ad units. That is just abusive. Currently thinking one, perhaps two at most. We’ll see.

Below are the two banners I slapped up lickety split today. They should start rotating into the feeds today (starting with this one, I hope, and if so, please pardon the fact the post will have two clickable banners, and one in the footer. The two are just to show you in case the FeedFooter Plugin fails to work. TIA)
