I just noticed another new feature this morning. Ask APSense. There's a variety of issues you can ask about and they seem to be categorized. Now for the big question who provides the answers. I know we usually have things like this answered in the newsletter but my e-mail is having issues this morning and I can't get it to open.

I got another question ? ;o)

Does page views of "Questions ASKED" pages count towards "World of APsense" revenue ?

Also, will there be a Tab to sell ads on this page also ?

As long as they are appearing in order like mine, that would work until this gets figured out. Lynn

What if you edited the blog you want to use by putting a couple of "aa"s at the beginning of the title? Then it would come up to the top of the list, you could use it, and then go and change the title back once it was posted. Might be a fix until the list can be made scrollable.

I am really not sure either, I tested two different questions, one was related to making money online and one was for how to hold a tennis racket. And my blog choices were the same. They started with the titles that had numbers in them and went in order of the alphabet until the I's. Lynn

I think I know what you mean, Eric. When you go to answer a question, you select the best answer from a list of your blogs. However, that list does not display ALL your blogs. So how does Ask! decide which blogs to put in that list? Is it keyword related?

For each question... I have about 70 Blogs but it only shows 20 in the list.

Hi Eric

I do not understrand what you mean by

Does APsense pick the BLOG samples based on keywords of the question asked or just a random selection ?

First of all, this is one of the best and most motivating additions to any program i have seen in my 9 years online...

I have a question about ASK and this seems the most likely place to "ask" it (or should i ask it in ask... hmmmm) anyway...

I must say that after receiving Thea's reply, I just had to go and get my feet wet. The variety of topics makes it easy to find one that you can relate to. I have dog's so the question about fleas gave me a chance to share some knowledge that may not have ever come up in the normal course of group discussions. I must say I love this feature and I'm looking forward to seeing more responses to the questions in the future!

Hi all

The way to provide answers in the ASK section is two fold

If you have a blog on the subject that answers the question you can select it from a drop down menu and add a comment then post the answer.

Alternativly if you know the subject you can post a blog that will answer the question then go and opt to answer it as above.
