Another easy way to get there is from the drop-down menu at the top right, just pull down to bannerblog and release.
Besides the self interested aspect of this, there is a WEALTH of great interactive on the site, and one could spend hours browsing them all...
The background:
I'm a co-editor of BannerBlog https://www.bannerblog.com.au - is the only blog focused on interactive advertising out there - or at least the only one big enough to get a nice stream of visitors and submissions from around the world.
Adland® is a commercial-laden heaven and hell for advertising addicts around the world.
This advertising publication was founded in 1996, built on beer and bravery, Adland® now boasts the largest super bowl commercials collection in the world.

OOOh, and goodbysilverstein is nominated as well as my fave drug CUTEOVERLOAD. I signed in and voted! Care to return the favour in the bloggers choice awards where Adland is nominated? ;)

PermalinkLove your work, Phil, and your site got my vote ... but please know you're not the only blog focused on interactive advertising. May I correct the record?
My hobby blog, http://adverlicio.us, is an archive of online advertising with north of 4,500 ads from the U.S., Canada, Japan, England, Mexico, Korea, etc. By my estimates, that's ~6x the number of ads you have on your site, no?
I'm generally PR-shy, but Technorati suggests that I've directionally similar blogosphere popularity rankings. And Alexa, poor as its data may be, strongly suggests that my traffic exceeds yours in the United States. FWIW, Yahoo! seemed to like what I'm doing, as did the NYT. If not as large as you, my site is in in the ballpark :-)
Have you seen some of my site's recently archived ads from MSNBC, LowerMyBills, or Apple?
Best wishes to your site's success! And I look forward to your reciprocal support.
