I’ve seen several blogs mention this today, but I felt it was worth repeating: tomorrow Google will be shutting down Google Friend Connect
for non-Blogger sites. If you want to keep up with my blog after GFC shuts down, make sure to subscribe with Bloglovin’ or your favorite RSS reader!

During the months of December 2011 and January 2012, I’ve decided to offer sponsorship slots on Life In Beta, as a sort of experiment.
I have a small but steady readership that I’m hoping to grow — so instead of charging for ad slots, I am looking for sponsorship ad exchanges on a per-month basis.
I’m hoping this will be mutually beneficial for other small/medium-readership bloggers out there!
. . . .
Ads are available in 3 sizes:
Featured Sponsor Ad - 180×220 (Only one slot available per month)
Large Sponsor Ad - 180×120 (Limited slots available per month)
Small Sponsor Ad - 180×80 (Limited slots available per month)
For more information on which ad size includes, check out my sponsorship page. If you’re interested in swapping a similarly-sized ad for December or January (or both), please contact me.
And P.S. — Don’t think that your blog is too small or doesn’t get enough traffic. I love exploring new blogs and meeting new people, so don’t hesitate to contact me about a link swap!
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) are hot topics right now, and with good reason.
