Not wanting to have that flexibility, power, and availability shows a poor understanding of online marketing, or is just plain laziness.
Does that make better sense?

Thanks for the explanation.
Yes I have many WordPress BLOGS.. So I go to a sponsor, grab and API and then import?
Is it that simple?
And why people talk about DATING APIs all the time? I can understand importing galleries into a BLOG.. but DATING APIs?.. no galleries at all.. DATING is DATING, not galleries.. I dont get it, why people talk about forms and dating APIs all the time, like its something MAGIC and SECRET or kind of blackhat to make money.. any ideas?
Thanks.
