I buy domains for what my budget will allow and use subdomains for the remainder. ;) Robert, I try and go for a combination of both.

Yes, it's new, but I believe like you that this new program will evolve in time to be a great program, considering what John is capable of. It would be nice if it was html as apposed to java and I'm sure he knows that. Give it time. I will be implementing it on my blogs soon.<br/><br/>I have a question for you though...<br/>when you create new sites through WhyPark do you use subdomains or do you have to use pure domain names. Using original domains can add up in cost quickly.<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>Robert Hi Amy,
I received an email from John pointing me to his latest, BlogRush. Yes, it’s new, but I believe like you that this new program will evolve in time to be a great program, considering what John is capable of. It would be nice if it was html as apposed to java and I’m sure he knows that. Give it time. I will be implementing it on my blogs soon.

I have a question for you though…
when you create new sites through WhyPark do you use subdomains or do you have to use pure domain names. Using original domains can add up in cost quickly.

Thanks,
Robert

For instance, I chose marketing for mine. Choose the topic more relevant for your blog. :) I don’t think you can change the skin, but you can change the theme.

I can't seem to get an answer from Blogrush and wedding stuff may not interest people on my skincare blog etc. Do you know anything about this?

These are not considered as inbound links because they are javascript. Google doesn't follow javascript links. Yes they do have some bugs to work out. What is nice is that the blog posts open in another window so you don't lose your visitor. :) Iain, I can see what you are saying.

The main thing that I feel is being overlooked is links on other sites does not mean more traffic - it means more links.

What you are left with is links on your site to five other sites with related content looking to entice that visitor away from your site to theirs.

The other issue that I see is that there is a few posts around about how the site was rushed and released before it was ready. In fact, even John Reese sent out a note to all members talking about the problems and plea to ‘bear with us’.
