I'm working on a new project at HowToSaveElectricity.net. Primarily, this site is going to be monetized with Adsense. The only way to make sure I'm getting the most of my Adsense ads is to test the different options from placement, pic vs text, size, and color.
If you take a look at the how to save electricity article on this page, you will see up to 4 different variations of the Adsense ads in the body of the article. These variations include a pic to the left, a pic to the right, text to the left, and text to the right. Every time you refresh the page, you have the potential of seeing another version of the Adsense placement.
Currently, I'm running four different options. Potentially, you could make a small modification to the code and run as many different options as you want. Due to the low traffic to this site, I decided to start with four.
Here are the steps for setting up a test.

Usually when I watch a UFC event, I can hardly wait until the last fight, the main event, the moment that everyone has been waiting for. It never happened last night. The Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera fight wasn't entertaining and to say I had a lack of interest was an understatement. One thing I can say for sure, just like in the recent past, the fight was too close to call and no matter who won the decision, there was going to be those that didn't agree. Personally, I consider that fight a draw.
Michael Bisping def. Denis Kang was an interesting fight to me for one reason. I can't stand Michael Bisping. He's a loud mouth, cocky, arrogant moron. He ran his mouth against Dan Henderson leading up to UFC 100 and Henderson paid him back with one of the most devastating knockouts I have ever seen. I didn't know much about Denis Kang, but I was hopeful that he would would do the same. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and Michael Bisping won the fight.

If you were looking for an exciting fight this weekend, Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers wouldn't have left you disappointed. Fedor was cut within 1 minute of the first round and was bleeding pretty bad. From this point, I was standing just feet from a 50" tv anxious to see if Fedor was going to pull off another victory or if Rogers would finally put an end to his invincible rein. I think Rogers clearly won the first round finishing it up on top of Fedor and dealing him five vicious shots. By this point, I wasn't sure if Fedor was going to pull off another win or not.
You can never count him out. Once again Fedor proved that he can handle a much larger challenger by knocking Rogers out cold in 1:48 of the second round.
This was one of the best fights I've seen in a while. It was action packed and was a great match up. The UFC needs to get off their butts and set up Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar. That's what fans want to see!
Here is a great "blow by blow" of the fight from ESPN.

The Subscribe To Comments plugin is pretty popular among Wordpress bloggers. For those that don't know, this plugin allows your readers to subscribe to specific posts and notifies them by email each time a new comment is placed. It's really a must for keeping your site visitors coming back and keeping them engaged in the discussion.
I'm in the process of launching a new site built on Wordpress and installed version 2.1 which is the latest version of STC. I was a little disappointed to find that you can no longer automatically check the subscribe box by default. Here is what I found in the FAQ section of the readme.txt file that comes with the plugin.
