    So I guess they don't want people e-mailing the current strip around at work anymore, if it is relevant to a manager or situation on the team. And they don't want people saving one out as desktop background, or keeping a copy of their favourite ones. Yes, they hate that so much that they added a nice "email" and "embed" button that makes it trivial to send strips around to anyone and everyone:



    Oh, and the embed thing comes with a (lower quality) .gif version of any strip in the (now vastly extended) Dilbert archive.

    I looked at your site, and its advertising is unobtrusive. Ironically, some of the content is the same blinkey flashing obnoxiousness that people hate about ads! I hope you weren't the designer.

    Rather than subscriptions or advertising, you COULD have sponsors. A Martial Arts site might be hosted by a sporting goods company, for instance, and in the nav bar "our sponsor" would be a prominent link. People will click out of curiosity, and a visitor to a martial arts site would be a likely customer.

    This ain't rocket science, folks. Unfortunately, advertisers seemingly have to take an IQ test, and if they score over 50 they're disqualified. They are guys like the bald headed guy in this cartoon.
