WATING FOR SO LONG...

Blog Posted:3/26/2015 2:56:00 PM

I have been experiencing weeks of system error on soup, not to mention the inability to comment on blogs , post poems, or send soupie as I was either redirected to another link or locked in the “ update” part of a page…is it just me?

The final run of my contest  was delayed due to these glitches , and I didn’t like the idea of being late in announcing the winners.. that being said, I hope that this one miraculous hour would give me the chance to finalize the judging process… there were many potential  entries though we missed on requirements set for the latest one.. .

please be assured that my grading system was based on the guidelines mentioned and not on favoritism.. my friends and colleagues here  don’t make it to some if not most of my contest. The reason I ask for names is to ensure that clarification is done with a participant, especially if a poem deserves merit( we have those mild grammar/ typo- horror moments)… hmm, you know who you are.:)

If I were remiss in sending congrats to winners from all corners, please bear with me… as soon as these technical problems are solved, watch me run the extra mile like before ( paging TPS!) … ohh, just venting, drat!

My applause to all participants and champs of my memento challenge!... do jump in and be part of my new creative spree… again, nag I must---please follow all reminders !

Happy day to all of you, dear soupers… let’s keep on rockin’… huggs

 

If You Are Waiting For Your Customers To Call You – You Are Too Late!

Hi Nette! Sorry for posting this late. Thank you for placing me in your contest. You don't know how many rewrites I made. I wanted to present you something which won't disappoint you. I see that you and Olive are already doing a great job. I really praise God for this. May He bless you even more for continuously sponsoring contests which help the poets enjoy and grow in the art we love. Hugs and smiles! :) Kim Patrice

No wonder I was not getting any response from you. My problem here is getting a blank captcha code most of the time. I will look at your new contest and try to join. Congratulations to all your winners.

Thank you for the placement and for sponsoring this inspiring contest, Nette...I've also been getting a systems error when trying to post comments, and I'm getting knocked off the site or receiving a message that reads, webpage not responding. After two or three tries, I'm usually able to stay on for a little while, but it's time consuming and frustrating. I'm not sure if the problem is on my end or not.
