Title: Member blogs now available
Post by: Wayne on May 30, 2009, 08:39:08 PM
For those of you who enjoy blogging, Amiga.org now offers you a space to do exactly that.  Each Amiga.org registered user gets their own space to write a blog, outlining whatever they want to, and giving them the ability to instantly share their thoughts on any subject they care to write on.  

ALL we ask is that you keep it safe-for-work, as there are many visitors here who drop in from work on their lunch hour, and we'd hate to see anyone fired because you couldn't keep a four-letter word in your head..  :)

BTW, the level of sheer customizing options, from fonts to moderation is astounding...

Enjoy.

Is there a way to link it to my blogger page/site? That way I can share it here also. http://amigalounge.com

You can get an RSS feed from your blog here by the looks of it.

I'm not quite sure to be honest, as it's a little outside the scope of what the blogs product is intended to do.  At worst, you could create a post which has a link to your blog I guess.

I think that's outbound, not particularly inbound.

For some reason, I thought that's what he was after :)

You're absolutely right.  I misread his request (sorry to talk as though you're not reading this).

I guess I was looking at the fact that I'd love to do the opposite, which is to say "pull my established blog posts (segwayne.com) over here" like I do at Facebook.  

I write my posts on segwayne.com, they're brought over to Facebook via RSS, etc.

Guess cut and paste will have to do eh?

Yes, It looks like cut and paste, no big deal, it's just great that we have it in the first place, Thanks.

That's exactly what I wanted to do, just a re-post here,from blogger. Cut and paste is fine. Thank you for the space.
