Hello, Neatoramans! I'd like to take a minute and update you on the status of the blog. A lot of things happened on the blog in July 2008 - and that was with me gone on a trip for about a week (betcha you didn't know, huh?).
We've added some awesome new T-shirt designs to Neatorama's online shop:
| Why?
Because I Said So T-shirt combo |
I
Heart, Heart, Heart Neatorama |
The
Dangers of Teleportation by Mike Jacobsen |
|
Chicken
Oops by Kevin Cornell (New Artist!) |
Type
Bike by Matt Sutter |
I
Heart Biology from our new Science
section (it's a bit lonely there now) |
We've also added some extra color options for some of our best selling shirts. They're also now available in ladies' fit t-shirts (the very comfy Bella shirts):
| Neatoramanaut,
now in black & dark grey |
NEW! Neatorama
Lolcat, in natural |
Neatoramabot,
now in black and dark grey |
The extra income from our fledgling online shop allowed us to eliminate an ad unit on Neatorama. As of the end of July 2008, we no longer have those double underline, in-text ads on the blog's permalink pages. You may also notice that we've taken off one text link ad group on the front page.
It's my goal to further reduce the amount of ads on this blog (when we started, Neatorama had no ads whatsoever!). Hopefully, as the business grows, we'll be able to take out more ads from the blog (at the moment, though, we still need that revenue to help offset Neatorama's high bandwidth costs). So if you see a T-shirt you like, please buy one! Your business helps support this blog: Link
9 BEST NEATORAMA POSTS
We added 452 posts and got more than 6,800 legit (non-spam) comments.
That's a lot - and unless you read the blog every day (and even if you
did), it's easy to miss some great posts. So, to re-cap, here are my favorite
Neatorama posts from July 2008, in no particular order:

As always, please tell your friends about us and thank you for reading Neatorama!
It helps with one's sanity because instead of explaining everything all the time, you realize kids often ask a question even though they know the answer or can quickly guess the correct answer.
