TruthyReport 3.0

Version History:

v. 0.1 - basic blog & opinion site.
v. 1.0 - site upgraded with full profile, regular features.
v. 1.5 - blog now follows MNL projects.
v. 1.7 - blog now has regular features & a new layout.
v. 2.0 - blog now focuses primarily on MNL projects - rants are secondary.

What's new in this Version:

v. 3.0:
1. A new layout - archives moved down, mini-profile moved up.
2. New features - "On This Day in History" added for interest sake. There is now a bandwidth speed test at the bottom right, so you can see if your internet connection is as fast as you're paying for!
3. Google AdSense - Every time you click on an ad, it donates $0.10 to The Truthy Report, helping to fund my many MNL projects! For instance, CreationContest.org's costs can be covered if TruthyReport readers click on ads 100 times - that's just ten people clicking ten times each in a month.

Future:

More upgrades are plan for the future, as The Truthy Report continues to adapt and expand!

ZionData
has also been updated with the new layout changes, a link back to The Truthy Report, and Google AdSense.

Also, as more of a footnote to most readers than a major announcement, I have introduced a new blog called CS3Data which will share with readers the many fascinating things that I discover in Adobe CS3 Programs, primarily Adobe Photoshop.

A School Shooting

My first short story of the fall semester, "The Third Gunman" is an intense window into a school shooting motivated by racial hatred, with Jesus' name standing in the middle.

~ Read "The Third Gunman" at Faithwriters.com! ~

As with all of my stories, it is written with a subject-appropriate level of violence, and contains no foul language but one misuse of the word "hell."

Calling All Sane-Minded People!!!

NBC is taking a poll on their website to find out if Americans really want "In God We Trust" taken off the money. Here's our chance as Christians to stand up and tell them how we feel by simply taking a minute to go to their website and voting!
