I really wouldn't worry, moon...I remember you well from WP. Â I left when there were still 900+ stores. Â I am considered by many as a traitor to the cause. Â
I soon began noticing creepy, disgusting behaviors over there and started discussing them here. Â That's when the hate mail started. Â
If I, personally, were as responsible for sellers leaving as the unnamed e-mailing poppers believe, heck, I can open my own site!
That's it! Â That's it! Â Look folks, for only $8.95 per month - and you KNOW that's a bargain - I will allow you all to list your widgets on my boxed software site. Â I will not advertise. Â I will not help drive traffic to your site. Â What the hell, I won't even have a forum for you guys to have discussions since I can't be at the ready 24/7 to delete things. Â I do promise to sit on my couch, drinking my coffee and checking my bank account regularly as I gather the down payment for my new BMW M Roadster and order my new slippers (from one of you guys, of course). Â I really don't give a crap if you use the invoice system I set up or not, I just want your $8.95 per month
donation fee anyway.
Sometimes I amaze myself with my brilliance. Â Who's in?
(I even can use that dynamic (!) smiley)

Rat,
The image is smaller, but it's no longer a clickable siggy. How to I simply make it a smaller clickable siggy?

ooops!
I can't get it to work. I can get it to show up right, but it fubarbs the url to your store.
Maybe Regic or BBH will come by and tell us how to do it.Â
Sorry!Â
Thanks, Regic.

Fine, my hate mail started while I was still at WP, too. I even got "hate" posts in response to some of my questions, while I was at WP. How dare I question the Almighty KaRay? So-and-so would never buy from me with an attitude like mine! blah, blah! And Almighty KaRay sat in his/her fuzzy slippers, gloating and cheering them on. Â
I was done with Popland by the end of September, but it took another three weeks to C&P all my listings and get them out of there. In no way, was I going to make my exit and leave Ray with any of my work to fudge the listing count and use as false advertising. I don't know if there's a "stick your thumbs in your ears and wiggle your fingers with your tonge out siggy", but if there is one, it goes here -- directed at Ray.
WP is one big joke. The only ones not laughing are the Poppers held hostage by Ray and his Koolaid-mixing band of delete-button-happy disciples, and a few others who might be closet chucklers, but basically couldn't give a wompat poo poo whether Ray changes his diapers regularly as long as they make a sale here and there.

Rat, send it to DB through practice board via email. Then she should be able to copy the full URL. Just a suggestion.

This is a quote from PSU
Quote:I just checked Froogle and Google Base for "wagglepop.com" and only found around 70,000 listings on both. I am wondering if WP has stopped feeding to both, or if Google has stopped accepting an older RSS format from WP? If so, I would think this would be very pertinent information to share with sellers, and would certainly explain the huge drop in traffic. All my items are 10 day listings, and I can't find any on Froogle that were listed more than 5 days ago.
Google Base/Froogle did change their requirements for the feeds to include attributes. According to the rscript site, they updated their software to reflect these changes.
I wonder if Ray corrected the change? If not there is the possibility the feeds won't work correctly. Does anyone remember Ray posting this info. on the forum regarding the changes? Or posting that he updated WP to correct it?
Thanks Rat!!!!!!!!!!!
Chiquita,
Yes, I do remember something about "updating" the Google/Froogle feeds which was the reason given for the site being down on the Grand Opening day (I believe). I remember thinking it was strange that Ray waited so long, as I had received notification of this revision a couple weeks earlier, had it downloaded and had been feeding my listings with the updated version for some time already.Â
OK. I'm giving the new and right-sized version of the clickable siggy a try.

Your siggy works just fine. I still have your siggy on myspace too. Once I get my links page set up on my new site I will add the TT peeps sites. I have them saved on my puter.
Interesting that Ray waited as the rscript site posted the change had been done on Feb 12th
