First, I'd like to say I like your blog.
Second:
In reading your blogs, I noticed an ad for the other bloggers on dailygazette.com at the bottom of all of the ads. At first, I thought it was an ad for just Carl Strock's blog but then I was supprised to see an ad for your blog. Then I saw ads for other bloggers, but the majority of the time it was for Carl's blog. It must be a randomly generated image because there was no pattern to when a blogger would get that ad space. But, it was certain that Carl would get the space more than any other blogger.
So I decided to do a statistical analysis of the appearance of the ad. I pressed the refresh button 400 times, keeping track of who got the ad space. Here are the results:
Ken Schott - 59 ads - 14.75%
Carl Strock - 129 ads - 32.25%
Bob Cudmore - 45 ads - 11.25%
Sara Foss - 58 ads - 14.5%
Jeff Wilkin - 49 ads - 12.25%
Phil Janack - 60 ads - 15%
So, it wasn't just me: Carl did get favoritism from the ramdom image generator. Carl got more than double exposure than any other blogger, and his ad was likely to appear (approx.) one out of every three times.
Also, blogers Judy Atchinson, Elizabeth Held and Mark Robarge did not get a single ad.
I think that either Carl must have one slamming blog, or someone in your tech department is playing favorites.

Though I would love to see Obama as President, I feel that Hillary should run her race as long as she wants to. The problem I have is all of the attacks. A negative campaign from either Democratic canidate will only give fuel to McCain's campaign. I feel that Hillary has been reduced to constant attacks because of her lack of funds, but it is not helping the Democratic party.

On Is Hillary Clinton hurting the Democratic Party's chances of winning the White House by staying in the presidential race?
