Well, we tried going without the comment verification thing for a while...but after a whole bunch of spam, we're going to have to stop re-engage it unfortunately.
Sorry to all!

Seems like our background got the flu and died. A pox on thee, Tinypic!
Background is now with the wonderful people at Photobucket. Yay!

I (Mr Couch) want to stress that a lot of the blog is still in beta mode. So, if things start blowing up, if wisps of smoke begin emanating from your screen - don't be alarmed. It's just the blog. Still in beta mode.
But we're working on it!

Folks, this is where we're going to keep you updated with what's going on at BCE. While our reviews, giveaways, etc will always be in the main post section-y thing to the left there, we'll use this to let you know what we've done to the site to make it a better experience for YOU!
If you love this idea, or hate it, or just want to tell us about your day, then send us a thing.
Mr Couch is Australian - born in Adelaide, raised in Adelaide, Brisbane, and England. Mrs Couch is from Michigan, USA. I believe she's referred to as a Yankee. She's very Yankee-like. We were married in 2007 and have been living in Australia ever since!
Mrs Couch does a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff with BCE: she contacts sponsors, organises competitions, she'll be posting a lot of the stuff to do with winners and updates for events...things like that. If you receive an e-mail from BCE, chances are it's her.
Mr Couch has the easy part does the graphic design for the blog. It's pretty much done, as you can see, but everything visible has been designed by Mr Couch. He's still learning CSS and HTML and the blog potentially took years off his life. But it seems to have worked out pretty well!
Well, that's more than three things. But anyway, Mr and Mrs Couch say hello!
Pleased to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Couch! I'm returning the visit via the blog hop! I have been to Australia and I have to admit to loving it! Maybe one day I'll get back there! I hope so!!
Thanks for the comment. It was a very sad day for my engagement ring, but the good news is that I still have all my original diamonds and a setting I have grown to really love.
One day I'll put up the photo from my wedding from my original engagement ring. So stop back by and you'll see it.
Very interesting couple you two are! Adelaide sounds like a great place to live; so beautiful. How exciting for your Yankee wife to experience life in Australia. I met a blogging friend who moved from Australia to Tromso, Norway after marrying her Norwegian man. They are raising their family near the North Pole! Thanks for stopping by Heart Choices on your blog hopping. I'm glad I met you.
