Info on BlogJob maintenance

@crazyhorseladycx It's a nice site for people who want to write a proper blog and get paid a bit for their efforts. But after our experience at sites like Bubblews, members tend to get a bit nervous when the site isn't accessible. That's why I wanted to pass on the information I had.

@Gina145 yepperz, with the demise'f 'that place' 'n so many others folks're a bit concerned'n i don't blame 'em. fer myself, i jest blog'n my own 'n e'ery now'n then, somebody tosses me a few coins.

@Gina145 most interestin' 'n perhaps somethin' i might be needin' to check out. if'n i don't start workin' a bit i'm gonna lose my net 'n some other schtuff. budget cuts, ya know? oh! all've the wee maple saplin's i potted up from last years bounty'r startin' to leaf out - i'm doin' the happy dance! still aint decided whether to try to make a bonsai outta a couple 'r jest get 'em planted this comin' autumn. the youngest son says he needs 't least 3, the eldest's a friend i gave 8 to last year 'n they didn't make't - he wishes fer more but i'm thinkin' perhaps not?? dunno, the maples made it to seed this year - all 3'f 'em, so's i might've 'nother bumper crop this year. if'n it'll jest rain a wee bit :D big hugs!

@Dawwriter I've also been spending a lot of extra time here, but I really want to get onto BlogJob to earn the 117 points I need to cash out. Hopefully it won't be long now.

@Gina145 117 points is so tantalizingly close. It must be tough for you to have to wait patiently. Good luck and i hope you get paid quickly.

@Dawwriter - Other sites I've tried have gone belly up and my work had to be transplanted. (Sigh.) All that effort down the tubes. BlogJob - as noted @Gina145 - is a great place if you want your blogging efforts to be worth the time you expend. Tried to maintain a stand alone blog but being a part of a blogging community is much better. MyLot as a social network is also worthwhile. Both of these places have provided monetary incentives which have encouraged me to continue on with my work at home / residual income earning projects.

@LadyDuck You may well be right. I hope it doesn't take too much longer, but I guess all the members can do is be patient.

@MarshaMusselman I saw a post written by somebody who was worried about how long BlogJob was under maintenance so I went to see if I could get any more information. Once I saw that an extended period of maintenance was predicted I decided to pass the information on to allay other members' fears.

@MarshaMusselman I think the posts on the right are usually ones on similar topics, and a lot of people seem to be worried about how long BlogJob has been in maintenance so I'm not surprised there are a few posts about it right now.

@Gina145 I don't have a problem that you wrote about the same topic, and I didn't look at her post to see what it said. I just found it interesting that it showed up on the right side of yours.

@andriaperry I'm sure it's needed. The old servers obviously couldn't cope with such a big site. It's my guess that that's why the site has been closed for new membership for so long. I don't post as often as you do, so it's probably not hurting my bank that badly, but I'm so close to 10,000 points that I'd really like to be able to cash out soon.

@miniam I don't have any experience to compare it to, but it certainly looks like this one will take a long time. BlogJob is quite a big site.

@Gina145 l know because i have done it with several sites

@miniam Thankfully it isn't something I've ever had to do. It sounds like really hard work.

@Gina145 I just checked on it after reading this discussion. It seems like the registration is open. I registered, but having problem logging in yesterday. I just tried again, it seems like I can login now. But I haven't really start looking around yet. So, I am still not sure if they are still testing or it's really working for new registration. Anyway, thanks for your discussion, otherwise I might not remember to go and try it out.

@kaka135 I agree that it's a good thing. The move is over, but there are still a few glitches that need to be ironed out. So far they're not accepting new members, but I'd like to believe that will happen soon.

@jobelbojel I'm sure they do. It's taking a long time, so it's good to know that Sheridan said it could take a few days.

@TheHorse No need to continue the discussion here as you've also commented on my other post. You can ask any other questions you have there.
