Just wanted to let everyone know why there are ads on various parts of the webpage right now:
The service that we go through, Bravenet, used to charge $99.00 for ALL of the things we have on our page. Message board, poll, postcards, etc. In recent months they have up'd their prices. In order to remove all of the ads from all parts of our webpage, it would cost probably around $500.00 for the year. So...b/c that is crazy...we will have to put up with ads for awhile.
