Weight Watchen Blogs! & Boards

Hi Guys! I know it’s been awhile since I posted a community update. I have to admit this semester it’s been a bit tough for me on time and I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the blogs. However, I know many of you that are really supportive to all our members and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it. I really created this community to help people find an outlet for their weight loss journeys and by having loyal readers that take the time to support and post comments on other blogs we are helping ourselves reach goals! I think it’s really amazing.

That being said I made a few changes to help us keep the community strong.

1. I updated the Blogs page to list the blogs in order of last updated instead of when they were created. This way we have a list to click through if we want to support those that posted recently. This list is also different then the “Most Active Blogs” as it will list by updated not by number of posts.
2. I removed one ad and moved the BlogHer ad on the main page over to the side bar. This pushed the recent comments up and allowed for a new section below titled “REALLY May Need Help” which are blogs that haven’t been updated in a LONG time. I thought maybe, just maybe, if they have fallen off track we may be able to help them back on with a few comments and support.
3. If you remember the, “May Need Help” list on the top are community members that haven’t’ updated in about 2 weeks. Which I think is about the time when people get frustrated with the program and give up.

My idea with all of these edits was to get the most exposure to the most blogs. You’ll notice the “Most Active Blogs” are still there, just moved down a bit. I didn’t do this to punish those that post a lot, I did it to bring attention to those that may need help. Those of you that are really active have an established readership already and I don’t think you are going to lose that any time soon!

I hope this helps those of us that need it and gives us a nice way to reach out to others. Remember if you are new, post comments on other blogs so people are aware you joined. This way community members can click on your name and support you as well.

Thanks to everyone for making this an AWESOME community. As always, post any comments, concerns, questions, ideas or what have you, in the comments or on the boards. I’m here, I just may be a bit quiet for a few weeks until my schedule dies down.
