Well, it's been a long time coming. I've been working on this new feature of the website for a good while now, and I thought I'd have it done sooner, but as I worked on it, I kept finding more and more features to add, and I figured I would try to get this thing right the first time. I at least I came close! ^_^
Anyway, here is the announcement I've been waiting to make. Introducing the new feature on TGBob.com...
[drumroll...]
The TGBob.com Member Blogs!!!
That's right, every member now has the ability to create their own blogging site within the confines of TGBob.com. Each member, should they choose to establish a blog, can use a form-based editing screen, where they can customize almost every aspect of their blog page. Once their page is setup, they can begin adding all sorts of posts as they wish. Not only that, but when posting a blog, if the member so desires, they can click a checkbox to recommend that their blog be included on the main page of this site.
To setup your blog, you should now see some new menu items in the main sidebar menu. Before you can start posting to your blog, you will need to run the initial setup, which will consist of you making the initial graphical changes to your blog. Once you submit your initial changes, your blog will become active, and you can start posting. I will eventually add the link buttons to share your blog addresses to different social networking/link sharing sites, but if you wish to share your blog address to other people, the address is:
http://www.tgbob.com?username
Just replace the "username" in the address above with your own TGBob.com username! You can also access a direct link to each member's blog from their member board page. Although the member board access is restricted to TGBob.com members only, members and non-members alike can access your blog using your personal blog address.
There is a forum topic now opened in the TGBob.com category to discuss various aspects of the Member Blogs function. Please use that forum thread to request new features or changes, inform me of problems and errors, or anything else that would apply to this new function. I still have a few extra bells and whistles to add to the Member Blogs, as well as some help documents to assist you with the editor. But, if you have any questions or comments in the meantime, please let me know.
I hope you all will enjoy this new feature, and I hope many of you will take advantage of it. Let me know what you think!
