Social Blogging for Beginners: Bubblews Still Works

Social Blogging for Beginners: Bubblews Still Works

Time to get back to this blog, it's been way too long, it's also crystal clear why these actions are needed.  When it's time to grow, you must begin to move. Move in the direction of your dreams!

I wonder if it's time for a new perspective!

Today was a sad day on one of my favorite sites. One of my posts was deleted. Bam, without warning or notice, just deleted by admin. 

Why?

Was it because I was raising my voice to help friends who had left the site?

Was it because I was mentioning redemptions and issues that people were having on the site as well as for some who left the site?

Was it because I was giving a voice to those who were/are feeling voiceless?

I am really not sure but what I do know is that it drives home a major point for me. 

1) You need to have your own blog so that you retain creative control.

I am mostly unhappy right now because the post was starting to generate a lot of good dialogue and it was really promoting the idea of community. I believe the community really lost out today!

My Response to the Deleted Post: http://www.bubblews.com/news/2436660-i039m-sad-and-censored

This site was once a true community in so many aspects of the word. 

For now, it is, just not the same but still worthy of helping individuals learn the ropes and get into the habit of writing and blogging!

Do I still recommend this site as a way to start social blogging?  Sure, but be careful, read the rules and the terms and don't try anything out the box.

UPDATE 3/16/2014:

The above post (I'm Sad and I'm Censored) was also deleted but I don't care because the site continues to pay. I just won't be sharing community-spirited posts in the way that I did. Bubblews does NOT want any type of questionable comments or posts about them, or people not getting paid. Although I didn't post anything wrong, the comments began to soar about the problems that people were having. I will begin posting here questionable behaviors that could get you on the "no-pay" list. Follow the rules, read the terms and ask me questions (or others you may meet on the site). Be careful because they will put accounts up for deletion as well as remove posts that they have deemed as questionable. It is still paying and is still a good site, especially for beginner bloggers, writers and anywhere the dollar is strong (Philippines, India, etc…..)
