Thanks Dave. I did not start the thing to make a profit, or really sell any bears. In truth I would quite happily just use the promotional effect, and hand the thing over to someone else.

I really started the whole thing because I was peeved with Webnauts 'blindness' He posted something in another forum that made one of his blind spots stand out . I felt the urge to give him a practical demonstration that People power outranked validation. . . That the simple use of his friends could get results and a a more 'ctabuc' use of search engines. not that ct is always correct, but he does employ a different perspective.

I have no idea if I will get more than three orders, but experience tells me It would need a lot of momentum to keep it rolling. Being In Australia, and way outback is a problem.

it would nice nice to hand the thing over

I shall take a peek at the build a bear site.
but I have imported badges from China before. . that was not complicated.

Personally I am inclined to tempt webmaster to blog about it. . sit back and wait until I have a 100 interests recorded.
check out what I can find about bears, etc.

But its fun! I appreciate your comments Dave, you are one the forums steadfast members. .
