Well, is this good news or what? Blogger finally brought us this feature that I am sure, made WordPress so well loved. Now that we have the ability to schedule our future posts, do you think that less and less people will think of migrating their blogs to be hosted on WordPress?

I have plenty of blog posts that are in Drafts with various dates. These are posts that I have no intention to publish at all, so I have to make sure that once this new feature is rolled out, it is now in Beta, if not mistaken, I am going to push their dates even further into the future. Right now, I have set them for 2009! LOL

Another new feature from Blogger is their Blogroll. Well, what took them so long to give us these blog basics, huh? The good thing about an integrated blogroll is that this blogroll is powered by Google Reader which means that the link will show a snippet when the blog is updated. Well, does this mean we can now do without BlogRolling already? Not that I use it, though! Just asking!

I don’t know how many people are in the same boat as I am. The other day, I was waiting for a couple of payments from a certain network and they were not forthcoming. So I checked my tasks that were pending payment and found that three were cancelled. Eh, I was surprised because this company should have mailed to let me know why, right? That’s the least they could do.

So I shot them an email via the contact form on their website and also an email to one of the staff. The email I received surprised me more. I was told that my tasks, although completed were cancelled and I will not be paid my dues as i was found to have abused the system. Eh…. Tell me, how can I grab a task a day when they are available and be called a system abuser? Just because I’m dedicated to grabbing one a day they think i abused it? People who understand the grab bag system will know that once a task is grabbed, the other tasks will not show up anymore. If they do not want us to grab and think that grabbing is abusive then why give this grab bag option?

If they claim that these tasks were wrongly assigned to our bags, then there was a task that was assigned to my pr0 blog in late February, 2008 when this blog was already pr0 in October or November 2007. If it’s a mistake after so many months then they should see through payment for it.

The thing that pissed me off is that they do not have the courtesy to inform me. If they had, at least i could remove these posts. They have gone live for 30 days and link juice has been passed. Really, when people told me that this company is not good, I defended it. Now I have my own bad experience to share as well. Really, companies like these sure won’t want to mess with bloggers, I tell you!

A few days ago, I wrote a post called Why You Should Get On My Top Spot and mentioned that if you tip me on my ScratchBack, I will give you a free buzz. Well, guess what? My post brought none other than the ScratchBack Boss himself, Jim Kukral. [Sometimes, you gotta make some noise to get the attention!]

Jim kindly tipped me [hey, it’s only $2, cheap!] and got a link for his blog, Ask the Blogger. At the time of writing this post, Ask the Blogger is offline, and so is his personal site, JimKukral.com.

Luckily, I already checked on Ask The Blogger yesterday morning. What this site does is to answer all the questions you have regarding blogging. If there’s a question you always wanted to ask but were afraid of being laughed at or something, you can just drop Jim a line. I am sure he will answer your question.

I remember that I once asked another person who runs a similar blog. My question was how to widgetize a WordPress theme. I did not know how even after reading the tutorial on the WordPress Support forum. The reply I got was, “Change another theme!” hehehe

Even though it is free to ask the blogger any question you have pertaining to blogging, I urge you to do a search on the blog first to make sure that the question has not already been asked and answered. I visit plenty of forums and one of the problems I noticed is that people are ALWAYS asking the same questions. That’s not good.

A friend asked me why I am only offering $2 for a link. He says it is too low. Well, this is an offer. You will get a link on my Scratchback widget and a free buzz for $2 ONLY. So how long will this offer last? This offer lasts till I don’t feel like giving an offer anymore. Hehehe a girl needs no reason to raise her prices, you know?! So what are you waiting for???
