In need of professional advice...

I've gotten all the blogs updated and almost to what they once were!

I hope every one else has also...

Hi Eric... with the addition of the live links in signaturea I can place a name, face and website together and begin to learn who everyone is...

I have sorted thru all three of the trials I was beset with when I first posted this thread... and have no doubt had some sort of marketing online epiphany...

You need the patience of a saint to succeed at internet marketing! LOL! or at l

Good strategy, Eric from Australia!

Hi Lifestyle,
Apropos, what's your real name?
You wrote: "i am now just hyperlinking my signature with my personal website."
My answer: That's the best way to linkize and publicize your blog!
Best regards to all,

Hi Everyone...

thanks for the replies (again) Wes has let us know that it is a error that has been corrected... and the correction will keep it from happening the next time the blogs are updated

Here's what he wrote...if you scoll down you'll see it again!

Hello Much awaited answer is here after talking to the programmer he said they updated the blogs section and all links was converted to text only they were unaware at the time and we are sorry its took the links out.

On a positive

great advice teodor, i am now just hyperlinking my signature with my personal website.

Thanks a lot. Hope everything will be ok. I'm going to redo my links.

However, I think we shouldn't have too many links in a blog, so that people can read the blog not just flounder around your blog and the other links (sites)...

On a positive side the blogs areas are done for tweaks and future updates shouldnt affect them.

We are only 3 months old so we have come a long way and can only get better.

Edit your blogs to fix your links as we can not do them. Once you have fixed them they will be fin

Hi Lifestyle,
Yeh, update, but for how long...? Who knows? Tomorrow we may start again...

It wasn't just links that were removed, it was the overall formating of the blogs.

For this to happen, I'm guessing there was a scripting update with the blog area and this may have caused the HTML to be stripped from the blogs.

If thats the case, its just a matter of updating the links. I updated mine and they are working now.

Thanks for the heads up re #3, Beth. I'll have to go check mine.

Re your #2: Quoting a bit, using a short excerpt from another's blog is a traditional blogging technique. Reading something that someone else has written often triggers a whole new stream of thought which is great blog post fodder.

A link is usually done and either the name of the blog or the name of the person who wrote it but I've often seen just the link... sometimes we're all in a hurry and leave out name but if the link

You're right. I just have checked my blogs. There is a BIG mess there. Maybe it's a technical problem or they do not want links on blogs anymore...

But then, why HTML code is there? Are we here at Apsense, like ADAM and EVE in the Garden of Eden !? It's a SIN to use HTML code?

Smile friends... : )

Yes, I do see some problems with my blogs. What used to be HTML capable have all been changed to non-clickable links, so now I need to go through all of them and fix, using UBB or whatever works. Not sure if it is a glitch, or perhaps happened when ApSense converted our blogs over to the new format where they look different and you can "top" them.

Thanks, and good luck, Stephen

Hi Beth,

I checked my blogs today and found a fortune of content and links deleted as well. I don't know why it happened.
I will post a query to admin right now and let you know.

You're very GOOOD with asking questions Beth! But who has the answers... ?
