Hi there Glen.
Thought I would stop by to see your site to check progress. Its looking good. I will be looking forward to hearing more about your adsense success!
I have not used adsense yet on my site (as you know) but have been using amazon affiliate programs. It has not been of much success for me but I am told others can do well.... There are some complicated scripts you can run that will create thousands of pages on your sites but I am told this takes many hours to do and I don't have the patience for this. I rather have a useful site then one just setup to have ads and do nothing but advertise.
I hope the site goes well for you and will stop back to see how things are developing. Will you have a newsletter for updates?
Later,
