This is a new blog promotion site that’s just starting out and frankly I think it’s going nowhere.. fast. The way they’re promoting it is for someone to join and in order to get all the free bells and whistles you have to refer two friends. That’s how I found it, someone I respect recommended it.

I went to the site and joined and sure enough, I had to refer 2 friends in order to get all the toys and I did. I entered this blog and didn’t put up a photo because I wanted to see what other people were putting up before I uploaded one. I had to hit submit to get out of that screen and look at the other blogs, but guess what? There’s no way to go back and edit your blog. There’s also no way to delete your blog.

I wrote to my friend and asked if she was really pleased with it and she said, “nah, it sucks big time.”

After grumbling for several long minutes I said, “fuck this, I’m going to write to their contact address and ask them to delete my blog.” You can’t. You can write to them all right, but when you enter the security codes, it ALWAYS comes back and says you put the wrong code in. Now I know I’m old, but 8 times (I keep looking in the pantry for new things to eat too.) and I figure it doesn’t work.

If someone recommends it, take my advice and don’t waste your time on blogballot.com. Anyone that doesn’t permit you to remove your data isn’t for me and it shouldn’t be for you either.

Should someone from blogballot.com see this post and realize that I’m too stupid for words, or makes changes to their code, just let me know. I don’t hate you, I just think you’re wrong.

***Edit.. I have received a comment from Mitul saying that they are working on the ability to edit a blog entry and to allow people to delete their blogs. I think that’s putting the cart before the horse but I really appreciate his letting me know that he read the blog and he’s aware that the lack of these functions is hurting his business. Thanks a lot for replying, Mitul
