Image Manager for WordPress 2.1+

Test Post from Adobe Contribute on Mac

Better Adsense Results with Ontok Highlighter

As I mention in this post - The Adsense Cleansing is Complete - I removed all of the Adsense from the template of my blog because it was ugly and really intrusive. Also I really was not making an money on it.
