What is with these crazy casino entries in my blog? It's like some little casino hacker crawls the web all night and day looking for places to deposit it's information. I have tried to block them, but it's just not working.

My blog used to offer a feature where my bloggers would have to enter a code to post, this would stop them. However, this service isn't offered anymore. I'm thinking of switching to Blogger, and I'm hoping I'll have more success getting my blog indexed on the Search Engines. Plus, I have more control over the way it looks in Blogger, because it lets me alter the html.

There must be a way to transfer my files over without copy and pasting, right...Brian? hmm?

Our sales are going very well, and the Tell A friend feature is fantastic. It really lets us know what they are excited about. I have been really surprised to see my customers showing some of our product that I didn't know was so interesting to them. In other words, they are sharing it, but no one is buying it. This is great because it tells me I might have to reevaluate my pricing, or sizing. I'm also playing a lot with upselling on these products. For instance, a scarf may not sell alone, but if I show a related product like a cool rhinestone pin on the same page, it's suddenly a must have. It's all trial and error, but it's kind of a game.
