The first three weeks of SocialSpark have been absolutely amazing. We have broken every benchmark we set with launch of PayPerPost and then some. Blogger and Advertiser reception has been strong, but I also want to acknowledge that we have a long way to go and there is much room for improvement.

That will change with tomorrow's release. We have shortened the height of the sponsorship bar and made the SocialSpark branding less visible. Here is the before: And here is the after: We have reduced the bar by 22 pixels which allows for more content on smaller monitors while still putting the advertiser f

Conor bounded too closely to Isla in her ball pit and made her lose her balance. Funnily he said:"Sorry, chocolates! Bonnie is chocolates.

This would explain the her three huge upchucks whilst we were out shopping and at the park.
