BlogDumps Bloggers Upgrade is a Success

WHEW!

That was tedious! I was so scared about this upgrade! But Everything went well and if you followed me on Twitter while I was upgrading, you know even my computer survived!

I know there was a short blip in Functionality today, but hopefully no one saw it! Truth is it only lasted for about one minute LOL!

Updates and Changes Include (but are not limited to):

  • While the overall look of your dashboards has changed, it’s really a simple and efficient change. All the tabs that were across the top of your dashboard are now in the left side bar!
  • We’ve removed the help and ticketing system. Few bloggers used it and the help videos were really out of date, so we decided that it was best to avoid confusion and remove the whole sha-bang. If you need help all you have to do is ask! You can email us or leave comments on this blog, Trina’s Blog, or Wolfbernz’s Blog — remember we are here to help!
  • We’ve installed a Text Link Ads Plugin to help monetize your blogs. Read this article to learn how to use this Widget.
  • The Social Networking Plugin has been updated. You can now choose from tons of social networking sites for bookmarking link at the foot of your posts and pages. It’s easier than ever to Tweet your posts! Simply log into Twitter, then go to your blog and click the Twitter logo at the foot of your posts.
  • I installed a comments plugin so comments can subscribe to follow-up comments. You have to activate it in your comments
  • Another bookmarking plugin, WP-Greet Box – This plugin lets you show a different greeting message to your new visitors depending on their referrer url. For example, when a Digg user clicks through from Digg, they will see a message reminding them to digg your post if they like it. Another example, when a visitor clicks through from Twitter, they will see a message suggesting them to twit the post and follow you on Twitter. You can also set a default greeting message for new visitors (not matching any referrer URLs) suggesting them to subscribe to your RSS feed. This too is a plug-in you must activate
  • STATS!!! We’ve installed a stats program for tracking the status of your blog! In the left sidebar of your dashboard, under “Dashboard” check out the “Blog Statistics” link. I’m looking for feedback on this one, so make sure you let me know if you like it!!


So, now it’s time for my glass of wine to finish the day! I know Wolfbernz mentioned the possibility of have the BlogDumps Video Contest details up tonight, but with the activity of today, we didn’t have enough time to make a proper plan of action for the contest. So stay tuned for the details, in the mean time, make sure to join BlogDumps Video and be ready to upload some videos, pictures and music!

Happy Saturday!
