      <title>Poll Results, Yo Momma, and a New Picture Bulletin</title>
      <link>http://www.sugarloot.com/community/2008/07/02/pollresults</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;
In our last CandyGram, we asked you what you thought the worst summer movie is so far.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul class="G-li"&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;40%&lt;/b&gt; of you thought &lt;i&gt;The Love Guru&lt;/i&gt; was pretty bad.&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;15%&lt;/b&gt; of you thought &lt;i&gt;The Happening&lt;/i&gt; was certainly not happenin'.&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;24%&lt;/b&gt; of you did NOT want to &lt;i&gt;Mess with the Zohan&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;21%&lt;/b&gt; of you thought &lt;i&gt;Indiana Jones&lt;/i&gt; was not what it was hyped up to be. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Sorry for the disappointment in your summer movies, 'Looters, but we have a new contest that will give you those much needed laughs. &lt;a href="http://www.sugarloot.com/yomomma"&gt;Enter the Best Yo Momma Joke&lt;/a&gt; to win a $200 gift card to the store of your choice!
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Also, if you haven't checked your inboxes yet, we have a brand new &lt;b&gt;Picture Bulletin&lt;/b&gt; to keep you in the know about buzzworthy entries and contests. &lt;a href="http://www.sugarloot.com/picbulletin_1"&gt;Check it out&lt;/a&gt;.

Tony, Jenn, and I were so excited about SugarLoot Awards that we just wanted to let you know about them now! We plan to make more videos to let you know about the latest cool stuff on SugarLoot as well as to answer questions you have. 

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do you have a unique question you'd like answered by us? Leave a comment in this post and if we like your question we will include it in one of our upcoming videos.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>BIG NEWS</title>
      <link>http://www.sugarloot.com/community/2008/04/04/newcommunitysection</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;
Coming soon, the SugarLoot staff is making some changes to make your SugarLoot experience more worthwhile (as if that is even possible, right?) 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
On this page, we're making it easier to comment (no more waiting for approval), participate, and make yourself heard loud enough for all of SugarLoot to hear.  So to mark this change, we're renaming this section &lt;b&gt;Community&lt;/b&gt;. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Now, I know a lot of you may be thinking, "What about Nugz?" Believe me, I thought that, too. In fact, I was actually filling out an application for DeVry University when I was informed that I will still be here! Yes, I will still be posting and being the same old Nugz. So within a few days, you can come here to hang out with your SugarLoot friends, join in discussions, and be the first to know about anything exciting on the 'Loot. It's bound to be a fun time for all.

      <title>FYI</title>
      <link>http://www.sugarloot.com/community/2008/03/26/cheaters</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;
You may not know this, but the staff at SugarLoot are avid shoppers of Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and Crate and Barrel.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
That being said, if you enter a catalogue pic for &lt;a href="http://www.sugarloot.com/bestroom"&gt;Best Room&lt;/a&gt;, chances are we will recognize and deactivate it because it is probably decoupaged in our "wish list" scrapbook, like Kathleen's entry.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;

&lt;img style="width: 274px; height: 198px;" alt=""
 src="http://i000-1.sugarloot.com/photo/spce_000_Q1_399504_14101679_MAX.jpg"&gt;



&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/center&gt;


&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Also, I know &lt;I&gt;2001 Maniacs&lt;/I&gt; is the creme de la creme of modern cinema, but in the real world slavery has been abolished and you cannot own a person. Therefore, entries of you with your loved one in &lt;a href="http://www.sugarloot.com/mostprized"&gt;Most Prized Possession&lt;/a&gt; will be deactivated. Furthermore, I would suggest you end that unhealthy relationship because chances are that person feels like you own them. Not cool.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Don't enter fake pics. We will deactivate them and you'll feel defeated, which will lead to long-term depression. SugarLoot does not want to be the cause of your depression. So, cheer up and play by the rules.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bottom Line: Fake pics = deactivated account. Not worth it!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>HTML How To</title>
      <link>http://www.sugarloot.com/community/2008/03/18/HTML</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;

Not all of us are allowed to get tattoos, but you can adorn that profile of yours in any way you see fit. Plus you can always remove those Jonas Brothers pics once they become as cool as Hanson. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


&lt;b&gt;Customize your SugarLoot profile:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Click &lt;a href="http://www.sugarloot.com/customize_profile"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Add some sweet jams to your profile:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.projectplaylist.com/"&gt;Project Playlist&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Make a slideshow:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.rockyou.com"&gt;RockYou&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;HTML Code Generators&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;If you need to generate code for profile backgrounds, etc...&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.quackit.com/html/html_generators/html_code_generator.cfm"&gt;Quackit Code Generator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://htmlcode.discoveryvip.com/"&gt;HTMLcode.com&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;HTML Tutorials&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.htmlbasix.com/"&gt;HTML Basix&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.quackit.com"&gt;Quackit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.lissaexplains.com/"&gt;Lissa Explains&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;Yes, this website may be for kids, but I know professional web designers who still use this site for help!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Once you grab the codes, all you need to do is copy/paste them to your &lt;b&gt;About Me&lt;/b&gt; section.
