Web page maker Weebly adds Google AdSense

by Brad Linder Jun 11th 2008

Want to create a web page but don't know the first thing about HTML or domain registration and hosting? There are plenty of free web services including Google Page Creator, Lycos Webon, and SynthaSite. But Weebly, which we first looked at a few years ago is one of the easiest to use.

Weebly also recently rolled out tools for adding Google AdSense advertisements to a site. While you could always place ads on a page by copying and pasting snippets of HTML and JavaScript, now the process is even easier. All you need to do is drag and drop the Google AdSense box from the toolbar to a spot on your page. Then you can select from a list of ad unit sizes and shapes.

There is a small price to pay -- Weebly will take a hefty 50% cut of any money you earn from advertising on your Weebly site. Or you could, you know, just sign up for an AdSense account and copy and paste your code the old fashioned way.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
