I've received a few emails last week asking why WebPlex has a Blogger account and why can't we just have comments on the WebPlex pages themselves. I'll try to explain in what follows...
WebPlex was first conceived and initiated in 1998. At that time it was created using a program by Microsoft called FrontPage. MS-FrontPage creates very basic HTML code. To get some of the features and functionality you see on WebPlex took quite a bit of hand editing of HTML code over the years.
As such, incorporating comments and discussion features into WebPlex would be a major undertaking. We have thus decided to move WebPlex into the WordPress platform as a long term solution. But this too is a major undertaking for a site the size of WebPlex. So as an interim solution to give our visitors an outlet for discussion we have setup this Blogger page.
You may have noticed that we've removed our email addresses from WebPlex thanks to the many spammers that decided to send us hundreds of emails a day. Eventually, WebPlex will also have a contact and support ticket form. In the mean time, please feel free to contact us via the contact form on Target Reviews (our sister site) at http://targetreviews.net/contact-us.
We're sorry for the inconvenience. But in the long run we believe you'll be happy with the results.
