Reminder

Hey Fellow Oodlers,

A you may remember, I told you all that I would be taking the 3rd of June off for my birthday. There has been a slight change to that plan.

Instead of taking only the 3rd off, I will be taking June 2-8. I'm going to be in Dallas to celebrate in person with my family and I also have an interview with a company there on Friday. If all goes well, I may be moving there before the end of Summer.

So, my roommate will be taking over duties here while I'm gone. He will have access to my GSN account, Blogger and Twitter so the posts will still be under my name. Be gentle with him.

Happy Oodling!

Hmmmm....This is Kind of Interesting

Normally, I don't look at tracking stats for the blog, but I received a report today showing how many visits I've had.

It seems this blog averages about 18,000 visits each week from the U.S. and Canada. The report shows it's been steadily increasing over the last 6 months. At the beginning of the year, there were only an average of 4,000 visits each week. WOW!

Also, I was informed by a friend of mine (who for some reason watches these things) that when you Google the QOD and Trivia Questions, Oodles of Fun (Daily Oodles) ranks in the top 5 of the search results abut 95% of the time.

For a small blog like this, those are some pretty impressive numbers.

Thanks to all of you for visiting and putting me on the map. I truly appreciate it!

GSN Site Issues

Hey folks!

I've been getting a lot of emails and comments lately telling me that people are having problems finding (or seeing) games on GSN.

First off, they do change what is on the sidebar from time to time. If a game disappears from there, it is likely you will find it on the "Ways to Win Oodles" page. For example: Question of the Day and Dumbsville were removed recently. There are links to them on the page mentioned above (as are links to all Oodletunities).

Some have mentioned that they cannot see some of the items on specific pages. While I am not an expert, it looks as though most people need to update Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player. I've had a few people tell me that has fixed the problem. Also, make sure whatever browser you are using (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) is the most current version.

And last, if you have a technical problem with GSN's website or any of their games, please send an email to help@gsn.com. I am not employed by GSN and cannot help with technical issues on their site.

Thanks and Happy Oodling!

Dumbsville - New Game?

Hello everyone!

Here is an email I received. Has anyone else tried this?

Hi Rowdydog,

From previous posts I know that you generally do not address Dumbville issues. I stopped doing Dumbville when the number of questions got so high that the time involved and the number of Oodles earned, if any, were not enough to invest the time and aggravation. On double Oodle day I decided to visit Dumbville and discovered an new game attached to Dumbville. All you have to do is pick one of three trash cans and you get oodles. You can then decide if you want to keep them or risk them for more oodles in another can. The game states that you can earn between 2 and 1000 oodles per day. Since Monday I generally end up with 40 oodles. Yesterday I got 881 oodles. It only takes a minute or so to play.

I just wanted to let you know about the game in case you were not aware of it.

Comment Search

I received this message today inquiring about something I had never thought about:

Rowdydog, would it be too much trouble to ask you to post on the main page (not just comments) instructions on how to find comments from previous days? Sometimes I'll post comments and want to see replies, but I don't know how to look for them. I see the list at the bottom of this page, but it's a little confusing because of multiple links for the same day. If you could help, that would be awesome! Thanks!

There is no way to search for specific comments. I checked Blogger help and could not find a way. Unless you know the specific posts, the comments are located on, you would have to look at each post's comments section.

However, there is a way you can subscribe to the comments for a specific post. Under the box where you enter the comments and just right of the "Post Comment" button is a link marked "Subscribe by email". You have to click it prior to posting your comment. Once clicked, it will email you each time a comment has been posted to that particular blog post.

I know this may not help to find comments from the past, but if you use it going forward you shouldn't miss any updates to posts you are interested in.

Hope this helps.

Happy Oodling!

I Survived the Double Oodles Marathon

WOW!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I spent quite a few hours Tuesday night / Wednesday morning playing saved Wonder Wheel spins and doing all the other stuff I normally do on GSN.

It was close to 3am when I finally finished and called it a night. I think over the course of the evening I answered about 100 emails that had built up throughout the day.

[Just a reminder: I am not in any way affiliated with GSN. Sending me emails about issues you have with their site and asking for me to fix them will not get them fixed. All I can do is point you to help@gsn.com]

By the time I went to bed, my eyes were glazed, my mind was numb and I had to pry the mouse out of my hand. I certainly hope this was worth it.

I hope you all earned tons of Oodles. In all I earned (see below12,862 (double that and it is 25,724). That puts me up around 200,000 Oodles. Not too shabby (and I only got screwed on 2 spins where the Oodles didn't register).

Have a great night!

Oh, and everyone has been asking me about why they didn't get their double Oodles yet. Well, here is the response from GSN:

Please remember it will take a week to get the doubled Oodles credited. Thankfully they don't have to tally them up by hand, that could take much longer! (joking).

MAJOR CORRECTION: I just went back and re-added from the other night. This is why I should never try to do any important math late at night. I actually earned 6,411 Oodles (double that and it should be 12,822. I must have doubled my double. This would give me around 172,000.  Oops!

Double Oodles Reminder

Well, I've been an Oodling fool all evening. I didn't realize I had so many spins saved. Whew!

Just a reminder, the cut off for earning double Oodles is 9:30am Eastern 5/12/10.

Good Luck and Happy Oodling!

GSN will add the same number of Oodles you earned during the promotional period within a week (or so they say). I would expect with the volume of Oodles they have to issue, it will likely be longer.

I have verified the links. They are valid.

Happy Oodling!

Sigh.........

OK, I'm starting to get depressed.

Why, you ask?

I'm about to reach a major milestone in my life. On June 3rd, I will be turning the big 5-0. Of course everyone has started giving me grief already.

I've asked them several times not to throw a party with a bunch of silly gag gifts. There is only one specific item that I want (a B&N Nook reader to replace the dinosaur eBook reader that just went DOA). I asked them all to pitch in and get it for me (it's only $260). However, their track record is not very good at getting anything I ask for so I'm not getting my hopes up. :-(

Anyway, I wanted to give you all a heads up that on June 3rd, I will be taking the day off from posting. My roommate has graciously (grudgingly?) agreed to post the Trivia and GSN Live answers for me. So, if they are later than usual, don't panic he'll get them up.

Have a great day and Happy Oodling!
