Has Google started to monetize Blogger?

I recently published a post and noticed something new. After I have published and taken back to the Dashboard, I noticed AdSense ads below the customary "Your blog post published successfully" message on the page (see screen shot below):



I am now going to test publish this and see if again there is AdSense ad incorporated.

Result of the test. This time, there were no AdSense ad unit after publishing (see screen shot below). Looks like Blogger is just testing it out:

Testing speciality metals

Speciality metals have been defined as steel containing specified amounts of other metals such as manganese, silicon, copper, aluminum, chromium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, or vanadium.)(See DFARS 252.225-7014 for specific amounts, metal alloys consisting of nickel, iron-nickel, and cobalt base alloys containing a total of other alloying metals (except iron) in excess of 10 percent, titanium and titanium alloys and zirconium and zirconium base alloys.

Speciality metals are used in very diverse industries and a mind boggling range of applications. Speciality metals are particularly useful for the aerospace industry which calls for materials with very exacting requirements many of which only speciality metals can satisfy. Speciality metals are also used for the military industries. The highly corrosive marine environment also calls for applications of speciality metals.

Speciality metals are used because some some specific properties are required and thus speciality metals are subject to tests for certification to conform to various standards such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and the aerospace giants Boeing, Lockheed and Northrop.

Testing uploading animated gif image

I did 2 previous tests - testing uploading animated gif image and testing animated gif image uploaded direct via Blogger and if I remember correctly, image which originally was still (not animated) one day suddenly was animated. Now I have a nice animated gif image of Mr. Bean and I will test again to see if I upload that via the Blogger upload image icon if it will be animated. Here goes:

I know from experience that when you publish special characters using codes to use only EDIT HTML mode and to avoid COMPOSE mode. The is because toggling between HTML mode and COMPOSE mode mess up the codes.

A blogger complained of something similar - using <span font-size:40px;">. According to the blogger, toggling between EDIT HTML mode and to avoid COMPOSE mode cause the px to vanish thus messing up the formatting. As I am a retired scientist, as per habits I am now subjecting that to a test to verify. What I discovered is that toggling between EDIT HTML and COMPOSE mode did not make the px vanish but there is something peculiar. When I change to the COMPOSE mode, the 4 test alphabets above all appear the same size and it is only when I PREVIEW that the alphabets is displayed in the proper size. Refer to the screen shots below:

Now what I want to do is to publish and check again if the situation remains the same or is altered after publication
