In the days to come blogtext will be releasing a new feature that will allow users to edit their blog's style sheet. Known as css, editing properties of tags that are assigned to text and cells within your blogs source, allowing users to take control of the look and feel of their blog.

The contact me option is located in the settings section of the blogtext manager. If the contact me option is turned on, a new link in the top menu of your blogtext pages will appear that reads, "Contact Me". If a visitor clicks the contact me link they will be directed to a web form that allows them to fill in their information and send a message as an email to the blog owners email address. Blog owner's email addresses are not reveled to visitors who choose to use the contact me form.

Recently there was a problem creating new blog entries. That bug has been fixed.

We have also fixed a bug that was not sending emails when comments were made to a users blog post that wanted an email notify of new comments.

A new shortcut has been added at your blog entry entries list page here. It is labeled quick edit. In this form you enter an entry id and jump to edit page for that entry.

Entry id's are the numbers in your blog entry URL. For example, http://www.blogtext.org/help/article/4140.html, the id of that entry is 4140. If you wanted to jump to the edit page for this entry, you would type in 4140 from the form field labeled Quick Edit on this member page.

We have made big changes to our blog statistics service. In order to combat page load times and load time in general on the server, we have integrated a new blogtext stats system. This new service will use your blogtext username but with a different password.

The new stats service can be found under stats when you login to blogtext. If you have not setup your blogtext stats, you can do so by going to http://www.blogtext.org/member/statsMain.html. There it will detail out for you what steps you need to follow to get your blogtext stats up and running.

This new blogtext stats service handles statistics far better than we did in our previous version.

For help submit a comment or click contact support at the bottom of this page.

We have just released a new section in the blog member area that helps bloggers at blogtext get their blog out on the web.

One of the new tools is a ping forwarding service that sends your blog updates to many blog sites with a single click.

The other tool is a listing of many websites that take blog submissions manually and also take xml/rss feeds. You can find out more about these new features by going here.

For the next 24 to 36 hours dns changes are going to be changing for blogtext. This dns change will affect emailing of new entry posts notify, sending comment notify, sign up and activation emails.

Most networks around the world should be updated within 8 hours however to be sure all networks around the world are updated, it is good to wait a complete 36 hours.

In a recent announcement we were aware of an image problem in the photos manager. For the last couple of days, some users images were not resized causing an error that looked similar to <img src=. Those images had to be removed in order for users to edit other images in that photo album.

That problem is known to be fixed as some changes to the source came about last night. If you are experiencing an upload problems, please let us know.

It has come to our attention that there is a problem with some images that are being uploaded. The image problem has something to do with images that have an very high resolution. We are aware of the problem and working to fix it.
