YES, those are Henry Copeland’s BlogAds over there on the left. Credit (or blame) Matt Welch, whose post persuaded me to get off the dime. Don’t take an ad as an endorsement — I won’t run ads that I think suck, but that’s the limit of my policy, such as it is. This is an experiment, so let me know what you think.

UPDATE: So far, most people don’t seem to care. A few say go for it, a few say that it takes away from the amateurism of InstaPundit. (But all the other cool bloggers are doing it!) One reader is unhappy with the ad for Chandler for Congress: “Too bad you advertise for the left. Next the BBC maybe?” Hey, he’s a Democrat, but he’s got an “A” rating from the NRA. . . .
