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

I received an “invitation” from Social Spark to join their advertising program. So I did. They asked me to deposit some money into my account, which I did. I deposited $100 for a trial to see if it was worth pursuing. We created a campaign and when we hit the submit button, they charged my credit card for an additional $93. From my way of thinking if I had $100 in there and I spent $93, there should be $7 left. No so, they want to hold my $100 for some reason only known to them.

Only known to them because we’ve written to them several times and all we get is the acknowledgement that they’ll look into it.

That’s not the worst of it. Now that I have nearly $200 invested with these people, they tell us that we’ll have to advertise another site because mine is too adult.

Wait a minute, I thought. If they KNEW I was adult when they emailed me their fricken spam, why didn’t they say right up front that they’d like me to give them $200 and go away.

So, they mislead you going in, don’t reply to emails in anything like a timely manner and keep your money and give you nothing of value. If you were considering spending any money with them, check them out because my experience was rotten.

Australians are very down to earth and accept all bodily functions as normal and acceptable. If you want to sell tampons to women, then make the ad interesting and funny. Like this Australian commercial for U tampons.

The Australians are fond of the saying, “Thank God that we got the convicts and the Americans got the Puritans.” Nothing says it more than this commercial about all the things a beaver is good for.
