Jim Alfredson Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ok, so this is what I'm thinking: Let me know if you guys think this is reasonable. I'm going to open the blogging software to those who have donated to the forum either during this recent "pledge drive" or in the past. I won't request any other money from you, like a yearly subscription fee, but I think that it's fair in terms of keeping the board alive that those who want to have their own content featured prominently on this site are also financial supporters of the site. Does that make sense? In terms of rules, I would say just don't post anything you wouldn't want your grandma to see. And obviously no blogs for the sole purpose of pissing on another member of the board. So all your "Jim Alfredson sucks" blogs should be hosted elsewhere, thanks. Sound reasonable?

mikeweil Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Sounds very reasonable - I think maybe it should be limited to jazz or at least music oriented blogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Do either of you have the political forum blocked? I just re-checked the settings and I don't see why it's not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 No Jim, I don't have the political forum blocked. I can add to the blog sidebar, but not to the main blog area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I figured it out. It's kinda convoluted. Once your blog is created, you enter posts from this page: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?app=blog&module=manage Don't ask me how I got there. It's really convoluted. Just bookmark it. Then click "options" and you can choose "Post New Entry". When you make an entry, you have to save it as a draft. Then it shows you how it will look on your blog, you choose "options" again, and publish it. Kinda weird. There's a new version of the blog software available. I'm going to see if we can upgrade. But for now, that's the way it works. Funky. You can also create a blog and then actually link to an external blog, which is neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
