			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quick question for you. I&#8217;m thinking of making some of my short stories available for download from this site, but am not sure how much to charge for them. So I&#8217;ve set up a quick poll, below. I&#8217;d really appreciate your vote (oh dear, I sound like a politician). Seriously, though, it would help, and please be honest. If you wouldn&#8217;t be interested or don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s worth paying for, just say so. The results are anonymous <img src='http://andrewblackman.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What I&#8217;m thinking of is a pdf document that you&#8217;d download after paying through Paypal (or some other method &#8211; suggestions welcome). The stories would vary in length but the average is probably 2,500 words or so. I&#8217;d set the price in British pounds sterling, but it would automatically convert to other currencies at the current exchange rate. So please, let me know what you think!</p>
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

New Year, fresh start.</p>
<p>What do you think of the new look? Please be honest, because I&#8217;m still working on it and can make changes. Is there anything that&#8217;s hard to find? Anything that looks ugly or doesn&#8217;t seem to work on your computer? Please write a comment below, and if it&#8217;s within my technical capabilities I&#8217;ll add it in the next round of changes.</p>
<p>As well as that, I&#8217;d like your views on the content of the site. I know, there hasn&#8217;t been much lately, but I plan to work on that <img src='http://andrewblackman.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  But as a visitor to this site, either new or regular, is there anything you&#8217;d like to know about that I&#8217;m not writing about? Anything I do write about that you&#8217;re not so interested in? Longer posts? Shorter posts? More/fewer pictures? Anything at all &#8211; please let me know. I&#8217;ve taken a step back from the blog for a few weeks specifically because I wanted to think about it and plan the content a little more, as well as refreshing the design. So I&#8217;d love to hear your ideas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got a voucher recently for £75 of free advertising on Google Adwords. I wasn&#8217;t really planning to use it, because I think Adwords is quite expensive for someone like me. I don&#8217;t exactly do a &#8220;hard sell&#8221; on this website, so even if I get extra traffic, probably only a small percentage would actually buy my book. I can&#8217;t really see how I&#8217;d make back my money (apart from of course during the free period, which only lasts a few weeks).</p>
<p>But I just thought I&#8217;d ask if anyone has experience of using Adwords, and if it might be useful for me after all? Do let me know if you think I&#8217;m missing out.</p>
