I see I have been too quick to give my Thankyou's for fixing my dashboard. The dashboard still refuses to keep up with time. I am taking my thank you back and thinking of ways to show a sign of protest.

By using restriction of
"The content should not be published else where on-line or off-line" you are surely going to miss some good posts because my first entry which is solely my own original work was already on ndtv though not as any contest entry. Beside I have a kind of on line portfolio to store a lot of my work- does that make it as published elsewhere - on line?
Btw the title of my latest post finds altered without my knowledge - is it possible and if so wonder how - leaves me in the dark. It is visible on blogs home but nowhere in the Travel page - though it was posted via Post a Travelogue
The dashboard too behaves whimsical - hope these woes get fixed
Thanks
Regards
