    I am confused about the Blogs....

    Anyone notice the blogs that are not related to Luxury Link/travel? They seem to pop up periodically.

    Are you referring to Merilee Kern's articles? LL doesn't seem to want to address our questions about her blog. I've commented and no seems to care that her articles aren't about travel. I believe she was invited as part of the Travel & Leisure magazine partnership. She's obviously a talented writer; just irrelevant to travel, IMO.
    Maybe LL will comment soon.

    Hi Community,

    If you're referring to the blogs posted by Merilee Kern, I actually posted a message a few months back introducing her as a new blogger on the LL Team: New blogger!

    As for spam blogs: unfortunately there is not much we can do to prevent those. However - with your help - we try to remove them as soon as we're able to.

    Thanks for your patience. Hope that helps!

    Strange postings in the VIP Blogs such as the following:

    by stretchmarks , 12-02-2011 at 01:17 PM (8 Views)
    It is a known fact that stretch marks are common in pregnancy, especially in the second trimester when the baby is rapidly growing, causing the mother’s skin to stretch over her stomach as it expands. The marks are caused when the middle layer of skin, known as the derma, is stretched so much that it breaks, causing deeper layers of the skin, and broken blood vessel to show through. At this special time in your life you need to pay your body a little more care and attention, you deserve a little pampering each and every day. There are many oils and creams you can use to nourish your skin, giving it the vital nutrients it needs to look healthy and glowing. If you are worried about stretch marks during pregnancy, you can use a stretch mark cream or oil to help to reduce their appearance. When stretch marks first appear they will be a purple-colour, this is the best time to start using your stretch mark cream, as it catches them at their earliest stage. As well as helping to hide your stretch marks, the treatments will also soothe your skin, leaving it feeling silky smooth.

    Katie, we have another hack of our blog.

    There are a variety of brass padlocks
    by padlocks , 01-12-2012 at 08:26 AM
    If you are looking for portable protection for your valuable items, your best bet is to purchase a padlock. They have been used for hundreds of years to provide security, prevent theft, and protect items against some degree of force. Brass padlocks are one of the most popular types of lock, and are often considered to be the best, as solid brass is such a tough, hard wearing type of material. There are a variety of brass padlocks on the market, produced by well-known brands which vary in both size ...

    jsattapr2--you can report post like that to LL by clicking on the small triangle under the post. I think it goes directly toKatie so she can have her way with the miscreants! Go get'em, Mod!!

    (funny, they typically show up on wkends, so they get some site time before going bye-bye...) A lot of forums just remove undesirable links.
