Can anyone please tell me how a Childminder would get to be the ' featured ' Childminder , maybe I am just missing something, but I dont see how its done, do they pay or is it random selection ?

Please excuse my ignorance

[LauraS]

I think its a randomly selected gold member, and seems to change frequently

[Daisy De]

I think LauraS is right but I'm sure Richard will confirm :-)

If you are a gold member and have a photo on your profile then you will be randomly featured in rotation with other gold members on the search results pages that you would normally appear.

Oooo ok , thank you for that.

I have another question for you , I know that to get a % off the Childcare .co.uk site fees, you are requested to have 300 posts on here, is there any other way ?

I'm not a great writer, but an avid reader and I have numerous reviews on Childcare.co.uk but can't afford to join ?

While you're being asked lots of questions ...
My number of posts does not seem to change after a lot of the posts I leave (about a quarter). Is there a reason for this?

[Marshmallow]

I'll never get a membership...................................

Oh well at least I have good reviews to lean on

Don't think some posts count towards your total like ones in 'The Lounge', but I'm sure Richard will confirm or correct me

Only posts in the childminding area count. So just for members and the lounge dont count. Also multiply posts on the same thread dont neither

And there was me thinking it was the ones where I speak rubbish that weren't being added to my total

Having just posted that last comment, my post number just went up (my second post on this thread)???

[chezzagriff]

Ooo Taz only one more post and your green. Whats gold membership? I thought there was just one membership where you pay £20 a month

[jackie 7]

Ok can I add another 160 posts on a year? Will have to eork hard. Do rubbish posts count?

[sali]

how much is this website for? i thought you get free advertising to this site when you first register?

[pinky33]

I'm guessing if we all got it cheap just by posting here it wouldn't be a very good profit making excercise, that's why we have to have 300 posts.

Are there any special deals to upgrade to gold membership at the moment? As I know a while a ago it was half price?
