Title: Blogs ...
Post by: Admin aka Dan on October 09, 2006, 09:59:11
Thinking of adding a blogging component to the site, so that you can all keep blogs if you want to.

Before I do it, is anyone interested?

Cheers

Dan

sounds cool but dan do you really want the extra hassle?

there are plenty pf blogging sites out there that people can use.

how would this connect with the rest of the site?

No interest from this quarter ... I am of a simple mind, and struggle to keep a simple diary, never mind a blog ...

Thinking it would link via users profiles, or a button under each post, click on a users blog, be taken to it!

Only thinking about it at the moment, they are a place to keep online diaries, things which don't fit into the forum very well, like the wiki (http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/joomla/component/option,com_mambowiki/Itemid,61/) really.

I wouldn't use it as I already have my own blog, might be of interest to those who don't have one set up yet already.

Can A4A take the strain of blogs? There are good sites out there to write your online diary or web log (hence Blog). Many of us have the link to our own blogs in signatures or as the address of our website in profiles.

Would be nice for people like me who haven't got one yet - will it be easy to use?  Took me months to sort out the photos thing!

Don't worry I haven't forgotten, sometimes the simple things take the longest time!

It should be in situ in the next few days.

despite my initial surge of enthusiasm, i'm finding it difficult to motivate myself to add to my current one, so i probably wouldn't use the new facility.

it would be interesting though to have a thread where everyone could add their blog link.  i keep looking at people's when i see an addy in their signature, but sometimes it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Garden Cadet was keeping track of blogs on a thread, I'm supposed to be setting up an area of the site where he can keep a more 'formal' list!
