    testing testing. not trying to be obnoxious, just geeky. I wonder if it has to do with logging in/out?

      M, we’re using a WP caching plugin, I wonder if that is the problem? I have not had to reload to see a comment, but I have had trouble getting the right sidebar widget thingie to accurately reflect that I’m logged in.

        Yeah. I didn’t want to complain (and it’s not always clear to me when I am the problem), but sometimes I have to “login” two or three times to login. Really, though, it could be me 🙂

          I did post about a bug & probably should have made it a sticky post…if it doesn’t seem to log you in the first time, try pressing the login button a 2nd time without entering anything. That usually works for me. I will fix it eventually, but I think it’s that I have 2 plugins that don’t like each other. Sigh.

    Does anyone but me think that the photo makes Hayden’s face look strangely distorted, as if he’s got mumps?

    Hey, can I get smileys and emoticons?

      I agree and besides the outfit looks so cheap, the whole concept looks cheap and the listed notes couldn’t be more boring…there is no Challenge at all…

      Yes…it isn’t a good angle for him!

      Just type in a smiley…like : then – then )

      and it will convert to an emoticon.

    Why didn’t they get a tennis player to be the face if the bottle is meant to represent a handle of a racquet? Some of these marketing folk need shooting!

      Rafael Nadal was already taken by Lanvin…maybe there wasn’t anyone else w/ enough star power.

        You’re right, my surprise is Maria Sharapova or the William sisters not doing perfume, they have lots of star power… and nice names too
