We Decided to Class Up the Joint

Whoopie Cushions and water balloon fights can only get you so far, so we thought it would be nice to shake things up at Quirkee.com by bringing on some new mom writers and quirky photographers!

The new moms column, From the Mouths of Babes, will be featuring some amazing mothers from all walks of life. They will be sharing their own unique experiences about their lives, their lives with children, and the quirkiness that goes along with it.

The first mom to come in and class up the joint is Piper Carothers! Many of you know her as Piper of Love from Bliss in Bloom, cre8Buzz, and other various locations around the Web. Please stop by to read her debut article and leave her a comment!

Another way we decided to spruce the place up (no, not hanging ferns) was to start the Quirkee Quirky Photos & Videos group on flickr.com. We love flickr. Come join us! We also love hilarious photos and videos and want to give more exposure to the quirky people behind them! Each week we will feature some of the stuff from the group that really stands out among the quirkiness - so head on over to Quirkee Quirky Photos: Volume 1 and see who made it to the site this week!

We hope you all will enjoy the new level of class at Quirkee.com, but don’t expect to see the water balloon fights and other shenanigans stop altogether. In fact, with the addition of more quirky people, I assume the craziness will be more frequent. Life just isn’t as fun without fake dog poo and a flying rubber chicken.

Piper did add some class to the place and did a great job on her first post! She set the bar high for the rest!

Thanks for stopping by everybody! It was brought to my attention that some people were not able to leave comments on Quirkee. If you are registered there then the security box, the math problem, does not appear. I tested it without being logged in and it worked OK for me. The box say “Enter what you see:” but what it’s really asking for is the answer to the math problem. I’ll get that changed so it’s more clear.

Thanks again! We are looking forward to more of Piper’s articles on Quirkee.com!

I did go by and read Piper’s post - and I’m the one who couldn’t leave a comment….waaaaah.
The security question asked “what do you see?” and what I saw was a math problem. They didn’t ask for the answer, so I put down what I saw. Bad idea. Then I tried going back (it did give me that option), but then my message had been wiped out. Guess I’ll just go and register…lol!

Anyway - Piper’s post was great! I enjoyed it a lot - and am looking forward to more!

Thanks for trying, trysh!

We changed that to say “Solve this problem:” so it’s more clear. Try again! Or register since you get more fun things that way.

Has this been here all day? Sorry I didn’t get here sooner.

Thanks for all the linkage, but mostly thanks for letting me be Quirkee. I’m so thrilled.

Thanks for reading everyone, and thanks for the compliments!

QJ rocks! period.

Piper, I promoted you on the Austin American Statesman, My FOX Austin, here at The Anthill, my site, MySpace, Facebook, and a few others to come.

You rock!
