I have earned money from blogging! The Brainiads ad I said I would not put on my blog but immediately did (out of curiosity and contrariness) has just paid me $10.76, or £5. something. Amazing. Why on Earth it has I do not know, as I can't believe $10 worth of any business has come anyone's way via this blog. But there you go. I am blown away. Thank you, Brainiads. Now I can give up the day job.
(By the way, I have reset those little "Snap" previews so you don't get the preview over the actual link, as I thought that was rather annoying. You now only get the Snap preview if you hover over that little box next to the link, so the Snap window does not obscure you actually going to the site that is linked to. This is a new feature of Snap, and a welcome one.)
That change of Snap is good! I like it as I can avoid it in the main, but choose to seek a preview, if unsure.
As for the Brainiads revenue Maxine, congratulatons!
"Now I can give up the day job" made me laugh!
But pray tell, what are going to do with that fiver?

You know, I seriously eyed Brainiads, and went to their website, but it seems creepy they want my Social Security Number. We're always told to guard those with our lives and I don't think I've ever given that out on the internet. But the concept is so compelling, and you can't argue with cash money. Hmm.

Odd, as you say -- I am certain I didn't give them my social security number (or rather the UK equivalent, the NI number) and still got my account -- is it a "required field"? I think I have Budd Parr/Brainiad's email somewhere so I can send it to you and you can ask him -- seems worth it for $10, not to be sneezed at ;-)
