5 Signs Your Blog Has Wandered Off-Topic
1. Your AdSense ads are displaying random content (eg. Rich Minx is currently showing ‘roofing’ ads - why, Google, why? How will I make my 4c weekly target at this rate?)
2. An email from a reader has just arrived, thanking you for that scintillating post last week about omnivorous cyclops robots fighting for supremacy in 18th-century France.
3. Your RSS feed has imploded with a ‘Does Not Compute/Fatal Error’ message (that displays for PCs AND Macs)
4. Even the spambots are confused.
5. Your blog has made it to #36 in the list of Top 100 Blogs About… Something.

Uhhh.. If you’re wondering why you run this blog, I think it was supposed to be about your personal finance.
July 27th, 2008 at 4:42 pmHmm yes, must write a post about those sometime.
July 27th, 2008 at 8:07 pmI have a question. I am going to redo my roof this summer, and am wondering if it is better to remove the old asphalt shingles, or (as many people have told me) just lay the new shingles on top of the old. There is only one layer on the roof now.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:02 pmHmm..now your blog is showing ads on prescription drugs and the sort. Guess it must have something to do with the rant on that nut journalist you did before. It is interesting how Adsense works isn’t it? Your blog is looking more and more like Rory Blyth’s blog and that is saying something since that guy goes on rants that are kind of out of this world.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:23 pmSteve, you’ve come to the right person. All roofing questions will be answered if you shake your Magic 8 Ball.
Richard: Well, prescription drugs would be more fun than roofing (I really must stop mentioning roofing as it will just be more fodder for misplaced AdSense).
