Windows Phone Thoughts: Pocket PC Thoughts Template Updates

Astute observers will notice that we've made some changes to our site template - on the left hand-column, below the skyscraper banner, we've added a small zone for text links. Text links allow us to offer a new type of advertising to sponsors, and since sponsors pay the bills that keep the site running, this is a good thing. We've taken the left-hand column and replicated it in the forums, partially extending the look of our front page into the forums.

While I don't pretend that anyone will welcome more advertising ;-), I do hope everyone understands it's a step we needed to take in order to remain viable as a Web site. I continue to refuse pop-up/pop-under ads, full page "eyeblaster" ads, and all other ads I consider to be intrusive - but by the same token I need to continue to work with our site sponsors to keep the bills paid. Thanks for your support in this!
