New Feature: Member Blogs!!

Post by SunSpire »

Look at your member navigation bar and you'll find a new link titled "Blogs / My Blog",
here you can start your own personal rainbow blog hosted on our server and post whatever you like (subject to board rules)

I have not tested this myself just yet but thought it'd be a nice feature to have for our members. Go ahead and put it to the test!!! Image If you come across any issues, simply contact a member of staff!

Happy Blogging! :)

that's weird, I can't even see the link at all. Am I just missing it or are you sure you didn't accidentally set it so only admins can see it? That might explain why both katy and you can see it but not me...

at any rate it sounds like a cool feature!

You need to set one up in your User CP.

The blog pages are still messy, I'm trying to sort it out.

I can't get the blog script to scale to the board's width at the moment, I spent more than an hour tinkering with the files but got nowhere .. I'm giving up for now.

Maybe I'll try it later again, sorry about that.

...but I looked in the user cp already though, too. I don't see anything. :(

Check again, it should be visible to all registered members now. The layout is still messed up, but I'll get back to that later on.

Happy Testing!

Ok all display issues fixed and you can also choose between 4 pre-defined blog designs in your UserCP, or, if you're tech savvy you can use your own CSS code to spruce up your page.

This is starting to look cool, I might actually make use of the blog feature myself! :lol:

This is certainly an interesting feature! It's fun to play with too :) Thanks for adding it!
