Having Problems with Blogging Zoom

    I have been having problems submitting my posts to bloggingzoom. :mad:

    Page 1 - It asks for the content URL, so I put in the link to the story

    Page 2 - So the Story title and the URL title comes up under Source URL. Article Details are then required. I then fill those in. The Story title actually comes up by default. It then asks for tags, description, category and trackback and I fill all those in.

    Page 3 - BAM Incomplete title or test and it tells me to go back.

    It did this on my previous post and I so I ended up changing the story URL to the URL of my blog website. I can't do this method again as I try to post my second article as it tells me that I have post that story already.

    I have contacted them TWICE and no reply. Is anyone else having problems with bloggingzoom?

    Yes, I just signed up yesterday and tried to submit some stories and the same thing. I also wrote them about it. I gave up after three times trying to submit stuff. I thought maybe I needed more in the description area so I wrote a huge description and still had a problem. I have no idea what is going on so if I do not hear back, I guess I will not use it.

    You need to read the fine print...

    The article description has to be 350 characters or something like that, it's pretty long. Plus you can't just copy and paste a portion of your article. If you don't follow the instructions you get the "incomplete" warning.

    I know it's strict but that's how it is on their site.

    (The site was also a victim of a big hacker, although I think everything is cleared up now.)

    Thanks for that info. I looked all over and could not find that. Where did you read that? I will try again. I swore mine was over that but I will check again. :)

    It used to be there. Perhaps it got lost in the latest redesign and restore after the hacker attack...

    Edit: here's some of the latest info:

    Took me a while to figure their system out the first time I submitted too :)

    Thanks for the info. I'm going to try again and let you know. I thought mine was long too and I though the error message had something to do with my title. Good thing I sent this post.
