I am personally glad to see that the FTC took a stand on blog reviews. I want to know up front if the blog post was a paid endorsement just like the ads on TV.
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images
on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my
end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
