Development Underway!!
Hey All!!
I’ve been working feverishly on the new community. It’s becomming quite an obsession to be honest. I love it!
I have learned so much already and the community features are even better then I thought! Here’s a quick update…
- You will have a “My Page” where you can change the theme, add blog posts, widgets, photos, your favorite RSS feed. You could even display your own blog feed (from another blog) on your “My Page” and continue blogging where you are blogging while participating with the community! How cool is that?!? :~P
- The Who’s online and chat features are working like a charm!
- I’ve designed a whole new look and created the same board structure there that we have here (although they will be called forums-which I actually like better).
Once I feel ready to have you guys test, I will send you out an invitation first before announcing it on my main page and opening up registration to everyone. This way it will give us a chance to create and custimize our main pages and become orientated. I would also love to get feedback from you as well!
And have no worries, I do not plan on shutting down this blog community. I will continue to host and support it. I will just prevent new sign ups once the new community is live. This way I don’t have to manage the spam blogs anymore.
If you can’t tell, I am SUPER EXCITED. I’m having fun developing it and I can’t wait to share it with you guys!!
I’ll post another update soon!
Thanks for keeping up posted, Roni!
Thanks so much. I got spammed four times last night at one time! They are soooo annoying. Thanks for all of your hard work.
[…] pretty excited about Roni’s Plans for the new Community. I am a little nervous about losing everything I have here, and moving everything over to the new […]
I can definitely see the benefits of shutting down the new registrants once the other group is up and running. Just the spam alone this morning. That must be a royal pain deleting all of that stuff. I wandered through the list of blogs and even your Christmas plans to delete the inactive blogs or the one blog only ones from last summer and fall would tidy things up before we ‘leave’ and fine tune the list of blogs. I don’t envy the life of being the page admin. I’m glad to see you’re so excited about the new journey this group is taking. Only fair you get some perks along with some of the tedious housekeeping chores.
Thanks for all that you do.

Wow Roni…you ARE excited! This sounds good to me…I’m new here (yesterday), and can’t wait until I learn more…I love the creative side of this…will there be more options for our pages and what they look like?

I look forward to the move!!!!

Froggy - Sorry, I forgot to write you back.
Yes you will still have some control. There are ALOT more template and you can add widgets and stuff but over all the layout it locked. So I think it’s more visual control less feature control. If that makes any sense! LOL
and I AM excited. :~D
