View Full Version : Blogs!!
I've posted an announcement about the exciting new Bushcraft Blogging feature here (http://www.bushcraftuk.net/community/showthread.php?t=3836).
This is the first time the system has been switched on for members and it has had a lot of teething troubles in the testing phase, but (fingers crossed) it should work well.
(If you have an existing blog in the old Bushcraft Blogs (http://www.bushcraftuk.net/community/forumdisplay.php?f=45) forum, please note that forum has now been closed. You might want to move your blog to the new blogging feature.)
If you have any questions, please ask away. I'll do my best to help! :wink:

Kath,
How do I move my Gamekeeping and Stalking blog to the new section please? :?:
Thanks
Mark
I'm afraid there is no simple button to press.... you'll have to open the journal page in another window and cut/paste them as new entries...

Thanks Ed, does that mean I'll have to do that with each entry I made?
And what about questions etc. other people have posted? If I copy and paste those will it loose the original poster?
Cheers

Yep....

Feel free to copy other peoples questions over, but you will loose the origional poster.
Ed
Wouldn't it have been easier to keep the old section open, but ask for any new blogs to be started in the new one?
And what about questions etc. other people have posted? If I copy and paste those will it loose the original poster?Yes it does unfortunately. The best way, if someone has asked you a question that you've replied to in your blog, is to put it in as a quote. You'll need to do this manually in the blog. eg. type [QUOTE=Kath]This is Kath's quote[/QUOTE]
I look forward to reading your blog! :biggthump

I think it's a great idea with this blog/journal thing! :D Really. :biggthump
That way, we can all post what we intend to do or have done, without creating a new thread in one of the forums. :pack: Really smart. :You_Rock_

I can edit my Blog's name and description, but not the entries.
same here as far as i know.. just though i would ask though! :wink:
This version of the blog software doesn't allow us to give you total control over the journal ... hopefully things will change over time!
ok well for anyone who bothers to read my blog.. "garage" means large not Garage..
i think the other 6 spelling mistakes are comprehensible! :o):
and i ment heat not hear.. but that doesnt show up on spell check :shock:

Why can't we post comments on other entries? :?:

It's because they aren't functioning properly. The software is still very new, but hopefully it will get fixed in a later version. :wink:

Folks that use Internet Explorer can download a spellchecker that they can use from within the browser at - http://www.iespell.com

MarkSounds like a good plan! :thumbs_up
I'm really enjoying reading everyone's blogs - keep em coming! :biggthump
when are we going to be able to use the comments function?
That's will have to wait until one of two things happens:
1 - The original author of the feature makes changes to the comment system that allows it to work better and allow editing on them
2 - I get around to rewriting most of the code to do it myself ...
Either way, it's gonna be a while!
From the activity in the blogs and feedback we've received I think that most users are happier having the blog feature as a diary that they add to rather than a diary that others can add comments to - until the features are in place to control comments and give the author of the blog control over them, the feature will remain disabled.
It's a real shame it doesn't work, isn't it? I'd love to be able to comment and give encouragement to the wonderful bunch of bloggers that we've got.
You'll just have to know that you're all stars! :You_Rock_
In the meantime if you want to comment on someone's blog, drop them a PM. If you bloggers want to reply you can do it in your blog (like Buckshot has). Also remember that you can link to one another's blogs (and to individual blog entries) ... so you might want to comment on others blogs in your own blog.

Bloggers - don't forget you can include links to your blog or to your latest blog entry in your posts. (You might even want to add it to your signature!)
Just copy and paste the URL of the blog - eg. Here's a link to The Viking's latest entry: http://www.bushcraftuk.net/community/journal.php?do=showentry&e=162

Buck Shot you need to wrap the image url you put at the bottom of your blog entry in like this: [*img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/BCUK/Mark/moccs1small.jpg[/url*] but remove the * when you do it to make it work! great blog. :biggthump
