I thought I would share this great news. Google loves us we are being indexed and Alexa has us breaking the 500,000 mark already.

This is great news as the more traffic we get the more attractive we will look to our competitors.

Thanks,

Have you taken a minute to create a group? If you have you can now go back and edit the group to allow for forum discussions. Forums are also group specific

This is a new feature we have added and you can visit the general public forums here, Blogging Wire Forums

So let’s give the forums a try who knows it might turn out to be beneficial for our members when trying to generate more blog traffic.

For example I have created the following forum in order to support any questions new members might have regarding blogging wire.

Every Blogging Wire admin has experienced the pain of having embeded codes stripped out of their posts and pages.

The annoyance of you not being able to insert widgets into text boxes, of having to figure out all those darn shortcodes.

Well, consider that fixed… this plugin simply allows users to add additional tags (embed, iframe, etc) to be used when writing a post or page (in their html tab).

Or when using a text widget.

And it’s so simple you can add other elements to it at will yourself.

Any questions simly ask them here.

Thanks,

Brian

Blogging Wire is a clean, spam free community of bloggers. To ensure the quality of our community environment I will be doing weekly rounds of all existing blogs and manually deleting the ones in which have not been started.

1. I will never delete a blog that has an entry.

2. I would never delete your content without your request.

So what I’m saying is if you signed up, created an empty blog and never returned your blog it will be deleted. I want’ to keep our community clean and hope for a high page rank for all our members.

If you haven’t made an article on your blog and it’s more then two weeks old it will be removed from our website. When and if you ever return you can simply create a new blog from your profile section of the website.

Thanks for understanding,

Brian

Just so our members understand how to properly add and use the Flikr and You Tube profile options I wanted to put together a post explaining how.

Surprisingly it’s actually pretty tricky. More so for the You tube Video’s. All you need to add is the information after the you tube url. I’m not sure why they created it like this but it’s how it is and most likely won’t be changed.

Here’s a generic you tube url

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkGppM46YhM

This is what you need to add

JkGppM46YhM

So you can clearly see the whole url is not needed. The same goes for your Flickr Account. In order to see how this looks I’m using my profile and Karen to demonstration both features.

Brian’s You Tube Feature

You can use this feature to add your favorite you tube video and all your amazing Flickr images. If you have any question ask below!

I wanted to send an update out to all members. We have 269 free wordpress themes added into the system. Sign up create a blog and you have from over 269 unique themes to use.

I will be adding more but it’s a very long and tedious process so I’m taking a break. There’s so many more themes to add it’s awesome. I added 12 pages and I think there’s over 50 more pages of themes to add.

Thanks to all our friends and members that are currently blogging @ Blogging Wire.

Thanks,

Brian

I’m very happy to announce the move is complete and I think successful.

If you experience any issues with your blogs, template let me know ASAP and I will fix it using the buddy press support forums.

It’s been a really long day for me. Trial and error is hard to deal with alone.

I need a shower and some social time.

Thanks

Brian
