I agree with you about myLot. It gives us a chance to interact with a select group of friends over a long period of time, even though most of us began our relationships as strangers. It’s a much better social network than Facebook for in-depth conversations. On Facebook people dump and run. On myLot people will carry on conversations for days or even longer.
I still have some reservations about Literacy Base. I don’t like not being able to edit something I wrote if a mistake gets by me before I publish. I don’t always catch that mistake before I submit, even after I have proofread. Also, if something isn’t working right on the site when I publish, I can’t go back and fix it later.
An example would be the media gallery. I can’t seem to enter information in the forms to change the default title or add attribution and alt text. The post isn’t complete and ready for search engines without those things. I currently have a post written and waiting to submit, but if I do submit as is, I will not be able to fix it if the problem gets solved. Maybe something on my computer is causing the problem. I’ve been having trouble with my mouse misbehaving, and maybe it’s my mouse. That means even if I solve that problem, I can’t go back and add the tags later. Other than that, I like Literacy Base and would like to continue posting.
I think a lot of sites are closing because of the adblocker. So I think depending on earning of such site is a wrong move. I would surely instead focus on other projects. Whatever money I earned from these sites will be invested on my skills for now.
