Are Forums Still Available?

October 11th 2009 19:44
Hi All,

I made a decision to open a forum on this site about 2 months ago, however forum posts don't seem to be available. Here is a copy of my post to writers forum( which is still awaiting moderation after 59 days), so I have to post to blog

Hi All,

Just a query to ask if Forums are still available on Orble. I have read the forum article here:

Really Long Link

However in "Choose a Format For Your Blog" the option for forum isn't available.

Thank-you in advance

Chris

New Freelance Online Work Forum Opening Tomorrow

August 12th 2009 13:32
Given the recent recession and tough financial times I have decided to launch a forum for connecting Employers with Freelance Workers. This service will be hosted on my FreelanceOnlineWork.com blog and will be free for all users.
This discussion board will contain sections for Employers to post Freelance Vacancies and sections for Freelance workers to post links to their Website or Business Card.
There will be sections for the following freelancers:

**Freelance Writers
**Freelance Article Writers
**Freelance Copy Writers
**Freelance Graphic Designers
**Freelance Programmers
**Freelance Data entry jobs

Please let me know if you would like me to include any further freelance opportunities, as it will be easier to add them while I am setting up the forum, instead of after it is launched.

Thank-you for taking the time to read and please feel free to comment

All The Best

Chris

Poker Videos to Prove Bad Beats Happen

August 11th 2009 10:09
You know what it's like, you sit there waiting for just the right Poker hand.. Then yes, you finally get it and then you end up getting beat on the river. Well the good news is that it can happen to anyone, here are a couple of videos to prove it.

They contain swearing(cursing), so are not suitable for children

Does anyone else get huge amounts of emails on a Sunday offering the next get rich scheme. It's crazy I am getting them every weekend. I am just happy that I really work freelance online.

Freelance Online Work - A New Direction

June 9th 2009 23:25
I am delighted to be given the chance to expand this blog, I have been a reader for a long time and I hope that I can build on Lynne Smythe's success. I have always found her writing very good and she has always been approachable.

My aim is to develop this blog from a freelance writer's blog, to a blog that helps all freelancers. I will also cut down on the external linking to other writing sites, because after all an Orble blog should be an entity in itself, and not just a bookmarking opportunity

Poker Pro blog

June 2nd 2009 22:46
I am happy to take over the Pokerproblog because I have been playing poker online for the past 5 years. It seems really easy sometimes to dismiss Poker as a passtime for a few when there are always thousands playing online.
I have collected lots of money playing Poker, I hope with the help of the information I share on this blog you can too.

How I got on Google front page--and why I decided to delete post

December 2nd 2008 00:25
Just over a week ago I stumbled upon a secret, it was a secret that everyone in britain and many abroad wanted to know but couldn't find an answer to.

Before I go any further, please promise that you will not click on any adsense links because I do not want to make any money by giving you this information.

Hi MNG,

Great question here are mine:

1 Ali 3 times world heavyweight champ and more importantly prepared to give up his belt because he didn't agree with war in Vietnam.
2 George Foreman oldest ever world champ(beating time gives us all hope)
3 Jesse Owens for standing up to Hitler
4 Micheal Johnson for achieving times that were thought impossible
5 Isaya O'Leporu and five other Masai villagers( Who ran the London marathon and raised 100,000 pound to bring clear water to their rural village, a village no other villager had left before)

All Champions seem to have ideals, which teach the rest of us.

Ty Natalina,

I didn't realise you had replied so didn't respond sooner. I will give it a few weeks and see if there is any change.

Thank-you Again

Hi Natalina,

Thank-you for a good laugh

They were some great examples, I especially liked the Facebook one. I can't believe some people are daft enough to do that.

Yes Jon the RSS feed looks fine, but My blog log doesn't pick it up. Could it be a problem with them?

Chris

PS I am away to St Kilda tomorrow for 5 days, if you respond and I don't answer it's because I can't.

Sorry I should have explained that it is my Orble feed that doesn't seem to be updating. I have tried putting my feed address elsewhere, but no new feeds have come through.

Thank-you in advance

Hi Anon,


This is to protect the innocent minors, and their future, so anything that may lead to their identification (whether their name or others involved) should and legally must, not be used in the public arena.

Did you read my post? It's just that baby P had already been brutally killed and you are concerned about his future?

Chris

Hi David,

Surely the reason that his name wasn't published was obvious? For you to publish his name is very careless, even if it was already on a newspaper website.

After 10 years of Blairs nanny state, unfortunately not everything is obvious. The criminals in this country get far too much protection, and that's what I felt was happening.
Yes I am humble enough to admit in hindsight that it was very careless. That's precisely why I haven't named the baby, his mother or step-dad again.

At that point the media really should have stopped referring to the young girl as "Pumpkin".

I totally agree, the press should think before they start using these stupid names to describe real human beings.

Thank-you For taking time to comment

Chris

Hi Samantha,

I recently wrote some things on the internet that were harmless (I thought) but had offended some people I knew.

I hope it is sorted now, it's amazing how quickly what we write can be found because we use our real names.

Thank-you for taking time to comment

Chris
