OK, I've been kicking this around for awhile now.  I spent a lot of effort in updating all of my blogs, including getting them 2257 compliant while keeping all of my posts.  Then, the host here had server issues and essentially all the changes I had made were lost - including every post that I had hand edited.  Couple that with the hosts new - and in my eyes, garish top and bottom bars, and I was already having doubts about sticking with them.  So, today I come by to start those updates all over again, and I find that now there are floater ad's like the little messenger thingies, but some significantly larger.  Well, I found that if I changed the category of the blog I stopped getting the pop up thingies - but who knows if that will change.  So, for the time being I've removed my posts, but left my links and will keep an eye on whether or not any of those popovers will wind up here.  If not, then I may be back to do some more posting.
