New Blog Feature

webmaster · 05-18-2008, 12:58 PM

I have enabled a new feature that gives members a new way to share your thoughts and opinions. Unlike the Forum, our new Blogs let you have your own space to post comments, information or opinions in a chronological journal format. You can choose to allow comments or not or even moderate your comments if you wish. You really have control of your blog space.

Although I would hope that most blogs were related to the Lakes Region this is not required. You are welcome to blog about sports, politics or a daily journal of your trip to Paris. Almost anything is allowed as long as it is not too extreme. I'm going to add a new section to the FAQ to attempt to establish some guidelines.

Blogging events has become a popular use of blogs. You can watch an event live or on TV and post your impressions every few minutes. A waterfront resident could describe the sounds of the loons or their thoughts as a storm approaches and passes.

I hope that some of our most active posters will give the blogs a try. I have looked at other blogs on vBulletin forum sites like this and they are a nice alternative to the forums when they are active.

The Blogs link is in the Nav Bar at the top of the forum and photopost.
