I just finished installing blogs on cbb. I guess blogs are the thing of the future so I thought it would be good to stay current. Test it out. You have the link Blogs on the navigation buttons under the top logo. Let me know what you think.

Also I'm working a little on the site. Trying to get some good colors on the icons.

Ok, I don't know how to use these blogs yet. If anyone figures it out, maybe post it up :)

Also does anyone like the new skull forum icons?

If you don't see them, press control and F5 at the same time. It's on the forum home page.

Blog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
“Blogger” redirects here. For the blog publishing system, see Blogger (service).
For other uses, see Blog (disambiguation).

A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.

As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1]

Think of it as a journal that everyone can see. The more advanced blogs can let you change the design a bit and add content. I just don't know how to use the blog on the forum well yet. We'll all learn I guess....for those that want to use it.

Ah, in your usercp there is now an option for blogs. People can reply to your blogs and you can moderate the replies before it is posted up for everyone to see. I can see potential for this for those that want to create journals or contest preps or stuff like that.

Don't know yet. Maybe that everything is centralized in the blog. Like a mini thread just for that member and he moderates it. Can be good for sponsors too I think :) Good way for customer service which everyone can see so they know what kind of service to expect. No need to use the search button anymore.

Ah, also in my user profile on the left, it says how many blog entries I have. I'm winning, I have 1 and you have 0...lol

I like the skulls. Not sure about the blog yet, I'll try to set one up soon for my uocoming competitions. BTW, I'd like a pretty photoshopped handle too.......

I had you in mind. I wanted to do something with a 69 challenger but it would be much to big. I like to buy stuff from istockphoto to do my work. But at stuff that size, they wouldn't be worth using on the forum.

I will try to make you something simple and elegant.

I just noticed that you can create your own categories in the blogs. I see potential for it, but will it catch on i am not sure.
