1986 Nissan Stanza 4WD van.

Yes, 4WD.
Did you know the Stanza wagovan has no pillar between the front and rear doors? That means the entire wall opens up, just like Honda would do with the Element 20 years later. If you can watch the Motorweek video review embedded below without wanting one, you're made of sterner stuff than I.

The un-ending template modification game (and a 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX).

If you're a regular OPC reader, you'll recall the series of rolling changes we made to the blog's appearance earlier in the year. We were searching for a straightforward means to clean up and modernize the layout. In the end, all that really changed was the column widths on the same old free blogger template. We liked the bigger images, and readers didn't seem to mind.
But it wasn't all good. A few weeks later, we noticed that our meager but reliable ad revenue had spontaneously dropped by 75%. With no explanation available, we can only speculate that the change has to do with some aspect of the mysterious Google Adsense compensation formula. Perhaps we were, in effect, penalized for widening the columns, as the ads now make up a smaller percentage of the page?
Well, six months later now, that seems the only explanation. And it seems that the only way to answer this question is to reverse the change and see if ad revenue improves.
So that's what's going on. We're just going to let that right-hand column crash into the wide images further down the page for the time being. Once we have a conclusive answer to our Adsense question, we'll revisit the layout and settle on a strategy.
We've been approached by countless S.E.O. experts, but no one seems to know the intricacies of Google Adsense. Know something? Like the original layout? The new layout? Is there something else you'd like to see from OPC? If you have input, we invite you to shoot us an email or leave a comment.
Thanks,
