Thread: An Open Letter to All New Users

Bump, Bump, Bump, Dammit!

"Hey, Everyone! Check out General Race doing the Bump!"

<thump>

"Ouch! ....Geez, General! Ya didn't have to chuck the JD bottle!"

bump

Maybe ***** will make it a "sensored sticky" as for some it would cause an imbarrassment or aprehensive feeling...so if it were a "sensored sticky" like saying "dont read unless you have the guts to know the truth" or You cant handle the truth...then It would stick...lol

Hey! theres Sarah!...cool

I wanna do the bump with Sarah..........

Aaarrrggghhh! (Vent)

BUMP!

Bumping to the groove.

Deep breath..... BUMP.

Wow!.....there's nothing like watching a Pro!

<bit 'o bump!>

Say Race, shouldn't you be reinforcing your tail gate for the summer season?

What does that mean? Adding a few extra credit cards to the wallet?


<bump>

I finally got my site editing for today finished. I still have a lot to do but all the pages are starting to look the same. Sounds like a good time to go shave. Maybe that old man that keeps staring at me will be cute and young. Thanks Brad for the window washing download.

Sorry, race but I had to ban our little vodka friend for acting like a complete Muppet with foul language. This forum gets frequented by people of all ages and values, foul language of any type even in joking is unacceptable.

I'm really sorry to hear that, *****. I may not be able to sleep tonight. LOL

I have no doubt that I'll regret asking but..... muppet? Which one? LOL

I'm sorry Dave...I don't think you were heard!


<she'd probably knock you into the water anyway!>

.......and I am sorry Generals, but I missed that one. All I could pick up was a visual of Cookie Monster.....

You didn't miss much, really. One of our friends from Down Under stopped by to wish us all the best. I thought it was real nice. LMAO

CHRIST, Amanda! It looks like me heading to the coffee pot in the morning!!!

Which muppet is THIS one???

(I am praying you are inferring it was the brook that has been dribbling over everyone recently...)
This is the second one I have taken issue with...maybe because I am so keen to spot cons and thieves, being in the jewelry business. Like the other guy who was always looking to download contact technologies for free being from Nigeria/Lagos/Congo - where all of the credit card scams originate from nowadays, especially on everything from Vonage/deaf tele*net/skype, etc...can't trace 'em....he was looking to get anything to collect emails, names, cards, anything of use....even game scripts to identify PC IP's.....gotta be careful....at least I do! I am good, but even I got stung for $35,000 last year on a very VERY soophisticated deal....even the FBI said it was really clever....

Freaking boomerangs work for us too, eh?

Far Out. I'll have to remember that next time I go to Outback.....


Oh....and Dave? I hear Sarah likes the Tango......

Hearing that glove snap on the wrist will sure take the pucker factor to a new high, won't it?

Hear that 'cross country, General....hear it once, never forget it....

<how such meely men wield such terror.....freaking Frankensteins, they are!>


*finally figured out that freakish puzzle you slipped in as a Mickey.....note that everthing is a sum/factor of 9/18, etc....same symbol on those sums, random shuffle of signs around them.... HA! Take that! --getting you back for bonking me with the JD bottle.....

I posted the solution to that a little later in the thread. LOL

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...

1. Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
2. Downloading Blue Voda, opening it and staring blankly at the screen for an hour will NOT get your site built. Posting here after staring blankly at the screen for an hour will NOT get your site built.
3. Posting questions on the forum is a good idea, but POSTING IN ALL CAPS or starting your thread with the not so original title of "Please Help Me!!!!" will not get you any extra attention.
4. A continuation of #3: Posting your question and then posting it again because you didn't receive an answer inside of two minutes is not necessary. Posting multiple threads on the same subject is also not necessary and should, in my opinion, be punishable by multiple wet willies and swirlies. (For any of our foreign visitors not familiar with those phrases, you don't want to be familiar with those phrases.)
5. Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
6. When posting your question, please take the time to make sure those of us who don't live inside your head understand what the hell you're talking about. Questions such as "Please help, I have a site and there are lines but no squigglies" are not questions - they are statements. When someone asks you to be more specific, responding with "well, I can't see the squigglies and I need this fixed" isn't going to help much.
7. When you've posted a question and people have posted back and forth with you to help you find the answer, it is perfectly acceptable to say, THANK YOU! Most of us don't get paid to be here, we just stop by to try to help if we can.
8. Please read #7 again.
9. There is a search feature on this forum, please give it a try sometime. Likewise, there is a well kept secret known as Google, which is a search engine where you can type in certain words or phrases and it will find you all kinds of things about those words and phrases from all over the internet. It's a secret, so don't tell anyone, but you can find it here: http://www.google.com/. They are rewriting the Old Testament to add an 11th Commandment of "Thou Shalt Run a Google Search". (Or words to that effect, they're still working out the details.)
10. Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
11. *****, Brad, Sarah and George are good people who work for and run Voda Host and try their best to help. If the answer they provide to your question isn't to your satisfaction, it is not necessary to pick a fight with them. Doing so will not get you any extra help, and you'll anger those of us who have the common sense to appreciate and respect them (although George has lost some respect since ***** revealed that he cheats at Chess. lol).
12. Watching the tutorials is a good thing!
13. Expecting us to walk you step by step through building your pages is a bad thing!
14. Putting together a simple "Coming Soon" page on your new domain is a good thing!
15. Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
16. Asking how-to questions about forms, search engines and eCommerce (etc) before you've even attempted to put together a simple "Coming Soon" page is a bad thing!
17. When a function you've put on your site (link, form, whatever else) doesn't work properly, there is NOTHING wrong with deleting it and trying again rather than first posting here and asking why it doesn't work.
18. If someone asks you if you have the latest version of Blue Voda and you say, "I think so", you don't.
19. Emailing me and asking me for help does not help other people on the forum with the same problem.
20. Last, but not least: Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.

Jaan,
Please post issues or comments in the appropriate thread or Forum so we can properly address them for you.
Yes...to publish a website created using the Blue Voda website builder, you must have a paid account with VodaHost. You can always find a manner for which to pay for your account, but there is no way around this fact.

(Your BV created website cannot be altered to publish elsewhere. Don't waste time - or unecessary posts - trying to do the impossible. Spend you energy on making your website awesome, and once you get a VodaHost account, you can publish it with pride.)

am... okay ^^,

See, General? Your letter DOES work!

<bump>

Bump!

BURP!
I MEAN BUMP!.....

While it is true you need a Vodahost account to "publish", Blue Voda can still be used to create a site with another webhost by previewing your pages in IE then saving as a webpage which can then be uploaded to your webhost. You need to be sure to upload all the other files necessary to get it to work properly.

Not strictly true....there are certain items that Will NOT work.

Thank you for this help!

Not so quietly BUMPING!

Bump!

I think I'll go ahead and make a BUMP now, looks like we're gonna need it. LOL

I needed a little comic relief---thanks for being so user friendly!

Happy to be of assistance. LOL
