Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does Adsense work?

A. Adsense is an advertising service run by Google. Companies pay Google to post their links all over the place. In turn, Google pays the people whose websites show those ads each time a large number of people see the ad and each time someone clicks on an ad. If you add Adsense to your website, you will earn a little just for page views and a larger amount for each person who actually clicks on an advertisement link.

Q. I see that there is a number of comments at the bottom of each post, but how do I see them and/or post my own?
A. There are two ways to get to the comment form. One is to click on the link for the number of comments. The other is to click on the title of the post itself. Either way, you should see what others have written and there should be a blank form at the bottom of the post that you just fill out and click on "Post Comment."

Q. Why do I have to have a Google account to post comments?
A. You don't anymore. I realized this and fixed it. Now anyone can post.

Q. I signed up and I'm not getting email updates? Why not?
A. First of all, the email updates only happen once per day. I'm working on a solution to this problem but I don't have one yet. Second, you have to confirm your subscription. If you haven't yet, it won't send you anything. If you didn't get a confirmation email, make sure you check your spam folder in your email account. By the way, if you know how to make Feedburner send email updates more often or if you know of a service better than Feedburner, please let me know.

Q. I have updates, but I don't see pictures and sometimes it looks like you didn't finish writing!
A. The email updates only show the title and the first part of the post (I'm guessing 200-300 characters but I'm not sure). If the update was longer than that or included pictures, you'll have to click the title to see the whole post. The email updates also don't include any of the hyperlinks, so if I linked the word pneumothorax to a page that explains the term, you won't see it on the email update.

Q. What happened to the posts at the bottom of the page?
A. After a certain number of posts are reached, the older ones rotate off. You can still find them by clicking on "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page. Also, I have added a linkbar at the top of the page that links to stuff that I think should stay on the front page of the site.

Q. What can I do to help?
A. Keep praying and keep coming back to the website / hospital to check on Jenni. Forward the web address to folks to whom we haven't sent it. Post messages for Jenni. She's been reading them and they make her smile (which I like to see).

Q. You didn't answer my question!
A. Just post a comment on this page and I'll try to get to it as soon as I can.
