I didn't want GoDaddy getting ad revenue off my name (and it doesn't look very professional), so I killed the ad page, but it seems like I should be able to put something up on my main page.

Are there any free apps that I can load up on my domain to fill the blank space? What do non-bloggers do with their personal domains?"
