Thanks for the response.
Is there a difference between
squid.sh start
and
squid -k shutdown
? Is one preferable?

Thanks, but that's exactly what I'm having trouble doing. I can block
an entire site, but I can't block the parts I don't want, e.g. banner
ads, and leave the parts I do want, e.g. the Dilbert cartoon. I tried
copying the porn expressions file to the ad directory and modifying it
for ads (banner, banners, ads, advertisers, etc), but squidGuard ignored
it. It had no effect on URLs containing the matching words.
