BlogDumps In the News

This was a great week around here I had a lot of fun on Top Sites Tuesday! Thank you all for participating!

Here is the list of the Top Sites Bud from Older Eyes won this week he does write so well make sure to visit him and everyone else. There are a couple of new blogs on the list – Terri Terri, PurpleFrogCat and Melea’s Blog they are all very good blogs and great places to visit. Make sure to leave a comment when you visit them

Spread the word about BlogDumps! We have had a ton of blogs submitted to the BlogDumps Directory. So it’s back to work adding blogs to the directory. I wish I had a way to automate this and still be able to check each for quality and content but oh well, it’s fun to visit the new ones anyway.

The latest news is we upgraded the BlogDumps Video player on B Tubed it is really nice I really like it and it is up to date with the new flash look for the video in the sidebar of the player. I have tested the embed and it seems to be working fine. It’s not on auto pilot so I guess it should stay working…lol you will understand when you watch the video. this is kind of how we felt this week during the upgrade
If you embed a video on your blog and it is to large you can just change the size in the coding now to fit the way you want it to as far as Width and Height. Read the rest of this entry »

I am so glad it’s Friday!

I don’t know about you all, but it has been a long week here. Cold, rain, snow – what more could we ask for… Sunny spring weather notice my smiley has shades in anticipation of Spring.

I want to congratulate Bud on his great Tuesday post and winning BlogDumps Top Sites Tuesday Meme!

*Rolls out red Carpet*
Make sure to visit Bud he has a great blog called Older Eyes and he is a wonderful writer

Thank you all for participating- it is a lot of fun when there are so many people. I hope you all had a spike in your readers too! We had a few thousand hits here on the BlogDumps Blog on Tuesday and Wednesday! The point of the Meme is to make friends with fellow bloggers, gain new readers and at the same time get real links back to your blog by commenting on each others posts. If you are new to BlogDumps and have added your blog to the BlogDumps Blog Directory we would like you to join us – each Monday the check in post goes up.

In the news:

If you have a blog make sure to add it to the BlogDumps Blog Directory but please do not hide the link. We check each blog for content ( No Nasty stuff please) and we look for the BlogDumps link. If we can’t find the link on your blog we just delete your submission. If you are not a blog we will not add your site to the directory this is for blogs only… Sorry, we are a blog community!

BlogDumps Bloggers ( yes you can create a blog right here on BlogDumps) Has been upgraded to the latest version of wordpress and all went well no issues that we have seen. If for some reason you find something is not working please let us know so we can take a look.

We installed a spam stopper so when you create on make sure to change I am a robot to I am a human or we will delete your new blog without question we had over 500 in the last 24 hours many were robots so we hid the link again but there are a lot that are not robots so I want to welcome you all to the BlogDumps community.

Make sure to fully use BlogDumps announce your blog in the discussion forum, Create a BlogDumps video page many that have get a lot of readers from this. AngelBaby told me she gets a lot of readers from her BlogDumps B tubed page ( B Tubed is the Video, Music and photo sharing part of BlogDumps)

I am off to venture to town I have to go to the lumber yard today and pick up some supplies, this should be fun it’s blowing snow at about 50 miles an hour sideways….Yeah! I have to save one of my customers she is getting flooded by all this water… They have small kids so I am going no matter what!

I Love Fridays

Yes, we made it through another week. All is well here the snow is finally melting but what a slushy mess it is!

Nancy from Coffee Break? won this weeks “Top Sites Tuesday” she has a great blog and it’s a “Must Read” on your blog surfing… *rolls out red carpet* We are so glad to see Nancy join us this week she writes so well, I love reading her blog.

In the news: We are still adding blogs and getting somewhat closer to getting them all added to the directory so please be patient, we will get to your blog soon we manually add each one to ensure quality to the site.

I have had some emails as to why a video you have received in your email will not upload to B Tubed. Well, if the video has some copyright codecs in it it will not upload this is automatic so we do not have any copyright issues to deal with. If you have photos and need a link url or just need a place to store them this is a great place for that, videos and music also we host all your videos and music. The best part is you can choose who gets to see them you and your friends or the world. You can use the embed code to add them to your blog also, All the videos Music and photos come with embed codes and you can change the size in the code to fit what you need it to be for your blog.

That’s about all I have to report other than I am working on making some changes to the discussion forum soon. Not to many people have been using it so I am going to make some changes… I’m not telling you, you will have to see when I am finished!

I hope you all had a great week and have a better weekend, It’s Friday… Yeah!

Saturday Night Dump

Welcome to BlogDumps Saturday Night Dump!

In news today, I’m adding more blogs to the BlogDumps Blog Directory – I have so many new people to add! It seems to take me a long time because so many of the new blogs are very interesting and while I’m adding blogs to the directory I look at every one of them – sometimes I spend way too much time on a site and I don’t get much else done! I think it’s that “Catch 22″ principle – I want to make sure every site added is a blog and links back to BlogDumps but in the same breath I have to go to each and every site! LOL

Also, don’t forget on Sunday morning, 2/14/2010 from 2AM-6AM EST we will be performing routine network maintenance on the core routers as well as upgrading about 20 network switches. During this period, you may notice 1-5 minutes of downtime during the upgrade of these switches. This will be done over night so it will probably go unnoticed.

This week Liggy was the top Blog on Top Sites Tuesday! If you have never visited her blog, you don’t know what you are missing! She’s awesome!

Hope everyone Has a great evening!

PS- Come join us Monday when the check in post for Top Sites Tuesday Meme goes up! It’s fun and we love new bloggers in the Meme!

BlogDumps Thursday News

It has been one heck of a week around here… The sun finally came out on the Eastern Shore here on the Delmarva Peninsula and once again we are digging out of the snow!

Friday on BlogDumps

TGIF!!

The winter storm has hit the Delmarva Peninsula and we are under a Blizzard warning! It’s awesome! Looking out the window I think this is what is called a complete white-out!

We got prepared for the worst. We went food shopping yesterday and filled all the fuel tank in the vehicles, tractor, and heat tanks today. We are ready for the power outages that are sure to happen around here, we’ll have heat and something to cook food on.

Yesterday at Walmart, I was laughing at what many people got for emergency food… microwave meals. Umm, HELLO!! If the power goes out you don’t get a microwave… I was amazed that there was no milk, no eggs, and no bread, the line to the deli was amazingly long, and the bakery was empty. The cashier said it was busier than Black Friday!

Today at the local hardware store I had to laugh – everyone walking out had a brand new snow shovel or two. Great move on their part ordering 500 of them – they were almost sold out by noon.

I’m not sure if I’ll have internet tomorrow, but if I do, See you tomorrow night at the dump!

The Saturday Dump!

Well I don’t know about you all, but we are under snow here on the Eastern Shore.
All the stores are closed early even Wal*Mart… LOL
I had to drive to town earlier, what a mess…

I had previously mentioned that I was working on a blogroll for the Top Sites Tuesday bloggers… Well, it is finished and you can see it in the sidebar- it looks like a little widget. If everyone that participates and is on the blogroll embed it in their sidebar, you will find your users visiting your blogs more often… It will increase everyone’s traffic and possible new readers. This is in no way a mandatory thing but to get on the blogroll you will have to fill out a put me on the blogroll form and show that you have been participating for at least two times and are going to continue or it would not be fair to those that do.

This is what it looks like… I hope you like it? It should automatically adjust to your sidebar size.

Speaking of Top Sites Tuesday, one of our favorites around here, Bud, won this week we will be sending out a BlogDumps T-Shirt to him. Thanks Bud for being a part of the community. You all should read this post it’s great!

I don’t know if you all have checked out the FAQ page but we had some questions and we were also informed that a couple of users couldn’t find our contact button so we added a footer with the necessities.

We have had quite a few new blogs this last week, I am going to have to make the rounds an check them out. So far the new form on BlogDumps Bloggers has slowed up the robots. Some robots still have found a way around the sign up form but I am able to catch them because they have no TOS Acceptance form attached to their sign up. Whew that was a mouthful.

We are getting closer to having all the new blogs listed – we have about 400 or so to go! I want to automate but if we do, we loose touch with the people who join BlogDumps. I still want to check the blogs out, I just think it’s a wise Idea and keeps a nice clean community.

I hope you all have a great weekend enjoy BlogDumps Make sure to sign up to BlogDumps B Tubed and bring your friends it’s easy and a fun place to host all your videos, music, photos and more and get a url or embed code for each to put them on your blog. Message friends make a web cam video and send it to your friends… You all have the fun and we will host it for you free in a spam free and uncrowded environment.

BlogDumps Thursday News

Another great week around here… We have had some spring like weather on the Eastern Shore, it’s nice but we still have February to go so I guess winter is not over yet!

Older Eyes (aka Bud) was this weeks winner on “Top Sites Tuesday.” Since Bud has had a review already and been featured, we thought it would be nice to send him a BlogDumps T-Shirt. Bud we will be sending you an email to get a mailing address.

Bud has a great blog and is a wonderful read so make sure to drop in and visit. I am sure after you visit you will return. Thanks for being a part of the community Bud, it’s nice to have you hanging out with us!

Not much to report here. I did find I bought BlogdumpsVideo.com three years ago and the domain was still in it’s old place so I am moving it to where all the other BlogDumps names are registered. You won’t notice anything during the change. I just like to keep things simple

I have been trying my best to get caught up on adding people to the BlogDumps blog directory but some hide the button where I can’t find it. If you submit your blog, before we add you to the blog directory we manually check for a link to BlogDumps. Those of you who hide the button on a links page or remove the button immediately after submitting your blog, will not be added to the directory.

Hope everyone has had a great week!

BlogDumps This Week

Everything here is going great I hope you all have had a great week so far.

If you received a weird email from BlogDumps… Oops! Sorry about that, we were running a cron job on the server so we could notify everyone when we implement the new features we are working on in case we have trouble and get a ton of emails we could write just one and let everyone know about what’s happening. Anyway when we ran the cron job, I think it sent the sample test out to many of you. Had I known this would happen I would have just said hi to everyone… instead, for the test, I did just like others would do and ran my fingers across the keyboard…

Other than that we have some new sponsors on the front page, make sure to give them a click and check them out so we can keep them and so they find the front page useful to them for ads.

We have a ton of new blogs built this week again and so far we have beat the robots! I shouldn’t have said that, huh?

Well I am back to work enjoy the site and all the fun features, network and somebody should start some trouble in the discussion forum and get everyone’s blood pressure up… LOL

Have a great weekend
TGIF!
