well thanks to kseh I am working on a text based c++ black jack game. I am not posting a blog because I want input from those in the beginners forum, like josh petrie and kseh. I am learning a lot about c++. I don't want to post private messages because I want others to see my post.

No.

That's not what this forum is for. If you have a specific question, you can post here asking it. But if you just want to inform the wider population what you're doing with your life, you should use a blog.

This is the last time I will warn you about this.

Just for the record, our blogs section is very visible (i.e. people would see your entries), and people can post comments there.
