Blickees FAQ, Site Features, and Functionality

Attachment 148Q: What if I could care less about video games, sports, or gadgets and what if I want to blog about something else. What have you done for me lately?

A: Basically we have created sections so that you can read only the stuff that is important to you. They range from topics:

http://www.blickees.com/sports
http://www.blickees.com/entertainment
http://www.blickees.com/gadgets
http://www.blickees.com/games

to geographical sections:

http://www.blickees.com/raleigh (more coming soon)

So instead of going to the front page, you can go to any of these sections to read what is relevant to you. We encourage readers to submit blogs on whatever topics they like. All will be posted in your own personal blog space and in the section page. The best will make our headline page. We can also create a unique URL for your own blog space. (i.e., www.blickees.com/thecoolestblog) Submit your request to submissions@blickees.com for more information.

Q: Lets say I just wrote the most awesome article about how I know everything and want to tell everyone about it. How to I submit my content for publishing?

A: Very simple. First you must register via our site or facebook connect, then:

1) Click on the "blogs" tab and click "create new post" on the top right and type away. We review blogs daily and promote the best ones to the related section page or even to the headlines page.

OR

2) visit the forums and post your content in the article submissions forum. Our editor will review it and post it to the appropriate section.

Every member on blickees.com has their own blog space. (e.g., here's mine) You can get to it by clicking on "my profile" in the header where you logged in, then clicking the "blog" tab. Want a custom URL? (i.e., www.blickees.com/thecoolestblog) Submit your request to submissions@blickees.com and we'll let you know how to get started.

Q: What is vBookie and how does it work?

A: vBookie is software that allows us to post events and odds for you to bet on. Every registered user has an opening balance of $500 in vCash to use for wagering. If you go broke, you will receive $250 when the next new event is posted. All bets are posted in the Blickees Sports Book forum.

To place a wager, you can:

1) click on the vBookie tab find the event you want to bet on and click "thread." Type in the amount you want to wager on which outcome in the "stake" blank beside your desired outcome. Click "Bet now!" at the bottom

2) visit the "Blickees Sports Book" forum and click on the event you want to wager on. Type in the amount you want to wager on which outcome in the "stake" blank beside your desired outcome. Click "Bet now!" at the bottom.

You can see the vBookie statistics and the site's richest people by clicking on the vBookie tab then in the sub menu clicking "Bet Statistics." Yes I am the richest man and I did it legitimately so don't hate.

Right now all you win is honor and bragging rights for your betting efforts. However, after the Beta runs, we will be offering prizes and site incentives for winners in select categories. Stay tuned!

Q: What are Blickees competitions

A: A very simple ladder/tournament setup. Contact us if you want to host any tournaments or competitive ladders on our site.

Q: I'm hosting an event and I want to set up a splash page and/or blog that I can direct people to. I also want my content to be available in the local section for my city. How can I get down?

A: Contact us at submissions@blickees.com about setting up a unique URL for your promotion company. (http://www.blickees.com/yourcompanyname) Once that is setup, you will be allowed to post events, blogs, etc., in your section as well as your regional section. (http://www.blickees.com/yourcity) All content posted has built in links to share your content on all the popular media outlets, including but not limited to, facebook, twitter, digg, yahoo and google buzz, and myspace.

We make it simple, you post it here at your unique URL, you share it wherever you desire and people will come. We can also setup forums for the dedicated discussion of your events. It's a great way to keep your fan base up to date about what's going on.

As we expand, Blickees regional sections will be THE source for what going on in a particular city. We greatly appreciate your support and spread the word by sharing via facebook and twitter as well as following us on twitter and facebook.
