INTRO TO BLOGS!

Hey everyone,

Until the NS Help page is updated, I'd like to give a brief run-down of how the blogs work.

Keep in mind that for now the blogs are somewhat experimental and will improve over time. You can begin by creating a blog, and adding entries. In time you will have the ability to edit & manage old blog entries.

To create your own blog, click on My NS -> Edit Blog. You will be asked to create a blog. Enter a Title for your blog, as well as Summary text. The summary text is shown at the top of all your profile's blog pages. The Summary text will be shown above the Background Image if you have uploaded one. For an example of this, check out the blogs of NoPoles, Mr.Bishop, CKO or Kamikaze.

Once your blog is created, you will need to add at least one entry. To do this, go to My NS -> Edit Blog. Click on the "Add A New Entry To Your Blog" link. Enter a title, summary & full text there then click submit!

Other members will be able to read & comment to your blog via your profile.

In a few days, the latest blog entries will be shown on the Blogs page located under Resources -> Blogs.

NS may also choose worthy blogs to be shown on the front page of NS.

Keep looking back for more updates..

ya they are cool. I think they might need more work on what windows they onpen in and when i click on a memebers name on the side over there
 
Sort of answering my own question:

"Keep in mind that for now the blogs are somewhat experimental and will improve over time. You can begin by creating a blog, and adding entries. In time you will have the ability to edit & manage old blog entries."

Well, I guess that means no...but I'd imagine that should be added pretty damn soon. Thanks!
 
ok once you have entered your blog info...then you must add a new entry...then it will work...
 
Yep, i made one as soon as i found out. Pretty awesome. i dont know what to say, so much pressure
 
another thought....could we get like a message warning when we get a comment...cuz its hard to keep track of things...but if not, blogs are still nastay
 
Sick... but are you going to read them all to see which ones are worthy to be on the home page?
 
I made a blog. I dont quite understand the point of these things though. Do other popular people actually have worshipers on here that read their blogs? I am quite certain nobody will ever read mine. Are blogs like diaries or something? Im a bit confused to tell you the truth
 
so i made a thread about this, but i fear it might get ignored so i'm writting in here to - two of my blogs have disapeared, the first one (the aristocrates) i can understand why it would be gone... it wasn't very fitting for the site so i'm sure a mod just deleted it...

but the other one (why god hates me), why is that one missing as well? is there a limit as to how many blogs you can have, and it just deletes the oldest one when you make a newer one? I would really like to know please.

thank you.
 
i just tried making a blog, but when i chose my name to view it, all it has is a message sending box. is there a way to view my own blog to make sure it's working?
 
ok so a post worked, but how come my picture doesn't work? it's 635x250 pixels exactly. any ideas on what i might be doing wrong?
 
pics must be under 100k and can not be any bigger the 600x450. that is the max....
