Okay, Blogs are now working, and open to all. Blogs are web logs, basically an online diary that you allow others to see. You should see a menu on the left when you are looking at the blog section that says "Write a Blog entry". If you don't try logging off and back on, if you are still using a cookie from before the change it was causing a problem.

The use of Blogs are a privilage, and are provided for free. The Blogs follow the SAME RULES as the forum. The moderators do not want to have to police the Blogs as they do the forum. If any persons Blogs become a problem you will lose your access to create a Blog. Thank you for understanding.

When you setup your blog you can choose whether you want your entry to appear on the front page of the blog section or not. The previous few blogs will post on the main page of those who have chosen to do so.

You can also comment on other people's blog entries.

Check it out and let me know what you think, good and bad, as I can always try to clean things up 

You should add a link in your signature or something to your blog entry so people can find yours.

I think Ruthie raised some very important questions!  I know we don't allow "dirty laundry" on the forum or in chat, so that would extend to these, too, right?

For those who wish to have a blog, but wish it to be uncensored, a Google search for "free blog" gave me 14,300,000 hits.  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=free+blogs&btnG=Google+Search   

Exactly.

Same rules. No dirty laundry, no names. If you want to rant about someone on the forum, it doesn't get done within the bounds of our community. kmw has provided the information regarding finding free blogs outside our walls.

When you click on blogs there should be a "User Menu" on the left hand side that has a "Write your blog" message. If you don't see the user menu then log off and log back in. Some of the people have have clicked the log in forever link have their cookies stored and mambo won't recognize you until you log in at least once.

I don't have any speed issues when doing a blog. Try restarting your browser. What browser are you using? You should be able to click on your name to view all of your logs and then delete or edit an entry.

I have the problem with the waaay slow typing too, nightsdoc.

Can we use html on the blogs? I tried and it shows up on the preview page, but the code shows on the page where you view the entry. Is there another type of code you have to use with the blogs?

Ok. Thanks for all the cool stuff on here, btw!

Im still a bit lost - sorry - what are bloggs - I am new
thank you

Thank you -think I got it now 

Hi Kimij,
 The blog feature was actually removed since no one used it. I'm looking into a replacement though. You do need to have a certain number of posts to see profiles and send pm's. You'll should be able to post photos though, what problem are you running into there?
