As you may have noticed the past couple of days many entries were missing from blogs and users could not sign in. We were running database maintenance when something went wrong. As the optimize was running more and more entries started to disappear. When it was realized that a lot of entries were missing we decided to stop users from signing in. This would prevent data corruption/confusion and an easy fix.

The only data missing during the last three days were users blog entries. Not to be taken lightly, blog entries are very important.

Many urgent messages were sent to our host asking to retrieve important daily database backups, it wasnt until today that our request was noticed. Not many minutes before this post, our data is restored. The data has been replaced. The three day delay in response from our host was very frustrating for us.

With a deep sincerity, I apologize for the inconvenience.

There some new changes to blogtext that include the member section of their blog account.

The blog entry editor has been changed to allow the users to change the date the entry was entered. There is also a new feature to allow the entry to be rated. Details of entry rating will be detailed out soon.

Another improvement that rocketman and a lot of others users will enjoy is the change that merged the intro text and extended text into the same field. If you dont know what these means, its ok not to know.

More to come, stand by. Have thoughts? Leave comments.

As you have noticed some things at blogtext. are changing. Work is being done to complete project and feature updates. The fix to the missing file has been corrected and everything should continue as always.

More than likely the extended part of users entries will be fazed out. This will make blogging for some a lot easier as we have noticed the extended parts of entries getting dots or the word text.

A profile is information about you that you share with visitors to your blogs. By default user profiles are turned off. If you want to change the status of your profile or information in your profile click here.

When you profile is turned on a link to it will be shown on your blog.

When creating blog entries use the new abc button to spell check your entry. Look for this button:

You might want to add words to your spell check dictionary. The spell check dictionary allows users to add words they do not want the spell checker to check for anymore. Each user has their own dictionary.

With request from the users the remember me function at login will not keep you logged in even if you close your browser.

This was the original intent of the remember me function. Try it out for yourself.

From last night till mid day saturday we were experiencing some problems with the site.

The error has been corrected and we shall resume the blogging.

There are some new updates to blogtext.org that will taking shape over the next few days. As per request from users, users will be able to allow rating on their blog entries as well as ratings on images they post.

In addition to the rating system, we are in the process of completing the stats system. This will allow users to view what pages of their blog are being visited and how often these pages are visited. These stats will include the referring website and time of the visit. That means that if someone comes to your blog from another website link or search engine, that data will be collected and shown to the user.

If you would like to suggest a service or function to be added to blogtext, let us know in the comments below or send us an email.
