Community Help

but that doesn't stop them from selling your e-mail address if they want to do so.  I'm not saying that I know for sure that they do sell your e-mail address.  I got an avalanche of e-mail after getting set up with Road Runner, another avalanche after getting into Yahoo chat groups, not too sure about MSN, but each and every vendor that I've delt with on the web (besides the Blogging Network) has gotten their hooks into me with cookies, etc.  I think, since my husband stopped subscribing to PayPal, for whatever reason--he actually said it was nothing that they did--I'll wait for your check.  I know, I'm being bitchy.  I'll see if I can work on that....

I don't want to get caught up in this...

But, I feel MA bloggers are discriminated against.  If so, why?  Get real, as they say.  People pay extra for MA crap.  And here at BN, it's hidden behind closed "Everything Else."  It's not "Everything Else" it's porn or near porn in many cases, sure, but still deserves to be right up there in its own category:  Click "Mature Audience" and get "Mature Audience."  No other category goes through this double dealing.  I have three blogs in MA:  The Cure of Sexual Obsession, WhiteNotes From the Front, and Sex and Other Subjects.  I have two blogs that you don't have to go through "Everything Else" to read:  Poet in, and OutofMyMind...and Times.  So let's get a category for "Mature Audiences," where you can get to that category by just clicking "Mature Audiences."  Is it asking too much? I may be stupid, but when the powers that be switched my blogs to MA, I had a hard time finding them. 

As for my thought about those who consider themselves serious about writing,  I would suggest a separate heading, where voluntarily, bloggers could list their output under Serious Writers.  In other  words, a "Serious Writers" category. It hasn't been done, far as I know anywhere on the web.

Finally, I, like everyone else, have a motive for writing:  mine is to get my books out there, to a few readers, and ultimately, sell a few.  I will soon be posting a way to buy The Cure of Sexual Obsession.  I know a lot of you "Everything Else, Mature Audience," double clickers will find it helpful. 

 

 

 

Se BN cafe. YourIndian correspondent has a good idea. Send out an automated email boilerplate about blogs,posts, comments, Community, etc., to each subscriber!

Looking at the top 100 listing, I wondered if "Everything Else, Mature Audience: bloggers are considered, and if not, why not.

 Also, it's hard to believe that people actually read a lot of the blogs rated rather highly. Hope this isn't turning into a coffee klatch, old maids get together for some cute gossip sessions type of thing. I notice an inordinate mention of one or two so-called writers names. Perhaps there might be a category for "Serious Writers".

Another thing: what's the guideline for Mature Audience blogs?  I see a blog that actually has the word "pussy" in its title,  and it's not in Mature Audience.  I suppose the writer actually does refer to a cat. 

And the last thing, Mature Audience blogs are not mentioned when the latest blogs list is printed.  I guess I can understand that, since even a lead-in sentence might lead to some sort of trauma for the immature minds. Still, it is a point.

 

 

I would hate to cause higher subscription fees!  Is there a subscription fee in order to get payment from Paypal?  So I have to submit to their cookies and junk mail, like on Yahoo and MSN?

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to edit a Blog's description and, if so, how?  Thanks!

There's money waiting in Paypal for me but I don't wish to subscribe to Paypal.  They say the money will go back to you.  Is this the "catch" with your promise to pay $5 for referrals who stay 3 months--that I have to subscribe, also to Paypal?  Can't you just credit my credit card or something?  God Forbid, you'd write me a check!

Hello I have just joined your club. What do I do?

I want to make a referral but I don't seem to be able to cut and paste as I am instructed to do. How do I make this happen? Please?

Thanks,

John

As most of you know, pressing the "Enter" key will always start a new paragraph in the BN text box. There isn't any way of stacking one line on top of the other unless the text is wrapping. So if you want to have one line on top of the other, like in a recipe, you have to cut and paste from another source.

I've discovered that the only source from which this works is a word-processing program, like WORD. If you copy and paste from the text section of Outlook, for example, the lines still get spaced.
