Zoop 8,384 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 We're happy to officially announce the opening of the MLP Forums community blogging area! Added as a direct result of user generated feedback and powered by IP.Blog, our on-site blogging system will allow you a dedicated space upon which you are free to do whatever you like (staying within our rules, of course ), without having to concern yourself about posting it in the forum as a new thread. Want to talk about a recent vacation? Blog it! Want to gripe about the housing market? Blog it! Want to talk about what you just had for lunch? Blog it! See something on the forum you like? Press the "blog this" button! IP.Blog is an extremely robust blogging platform; using it you can easily create blogs that have multiple editors, import entries from external blogging sites like Tumblr via RSS, and many things similar. So, with that said - take a look around and start playing with things! Push some buttons, write some entries, and all that good stuff! 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy 5,563 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Huh. That's pretty interesting. Don't know if I'll ever have a reason to make use of it, but good to know that it's there. Especially for people who are more inclined to write. 1 GET IN THE PIT On 8/23/2012 at 1:54 AM, Djenty said: ON MLP 4UMS ERRYTHIN IS SRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XUNUSEDXXX 3,459 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Cool! I was wondering what this was about, but I actually might start using this! Thanks for the feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Is there an index somewhere to see all the blogs in sorted manner? I want to see what kind of stuff this forum can come up with Anyway, good job to whoever who implemented this stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost 1,410 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Hmm this looks interesting. I may have to check it out and start some blogging at some point >.> Your friendly neighborhood alcoholic motorcyclist Life is too short to worry what others think of you, be creative, be weird, live life.

Neikos 968 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) The lack of capitalization in the thread title irk me, but that is greatly offset by the fact that I can now make bigger rambling posts no one will read! Off to the drawing board! ( Or was it writing...? ) Looks like someone hasn't been doing his homework! ( Also MLP Forums is available I just can't make a blog ) Edited August 27, 2012 by Neikos the Omniscient 5 I love you! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Gear 6,663 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Anyway, good job to whoever who implemented this stuff *walks out of the MLP Forums engine room* *waves* Thanks buddy! I'm just your friendly neighborhood chicken with a wrench. And here is the blog index: > http://mlpforums.com...blog_last_edate I'm really looking forward to seeing what the community can do as well. Yay! More reading material for me! *goes back into the engine room* 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) > http://mlpforums.com...blog_last_edate one more things to do at the weekend! But we need some kind of report button here. Blog feature is one of the most vulnerable part of the site. I've seen one forum which got its blog thing swamped with spammers. Lots of it, and I mean Holy_fuck_twenty_spam_blog_every_hour lots. E: I see the report button is already there, my bad :x Edited August 27, 2012 by Dreamwalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Comedy 327 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Cool, now I can be like those annoying guys on Twitter who practically lets the world know if he takes a crap! Jk, sounds like a cool feature. I'll try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Chaos~ 3,967 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 I'm liking this feature, will be a fun little thing to do when I feel I have things to say, or I just feel like shooting out randomness. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilshy 5,090 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) Maybe now I can have a blog people will actually read. @foreverobscure Although, I think I will transfer some of my better blog posts from my blogspot that nobody reads to this site. This should prove an interesting addition to the forums Edited August 27, 2012 by Evilshy and His Own Ego Signature now 99% less edgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia-chan 495 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 I gotta say, it's pretty sweet. Just published my first post on my new blog. I like this, because I can pretty much do what a status update wouldn't accommodate. 1 Objection! Hold it! Take that! Gotcha! Eureka! I like video games and anime.

Crispy 5,563 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Thanks buddy! I'm just your friendly neighborhood chicken with a wrench. In my headcanon, Scootacool is secretly Garrus. I'm going to have to give this whole thing a look, at least. 5 GET IN THE PIT On 8/23/2012 at 1:54 AM, Djenty said: ON MLP 4UMS ERRYTHIN IS SRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gestalt 17 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) If it is possible for a forum to get too awesome. Then, Mlpfoums.com is the prime example of too much awesome. I'm going to hurt myself. Edited August 27, 2012 by Lord O Donnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie D Pie 1,036 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 I think I might enjoy these blogs a place for my most intermost thoughts. Oh lucky you forums you get to take a trip though my brain. This is making MLP forums even more cooler. So amazing so yes I really like these blogs.

NavelColt 22,880 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Aka, Status Updates but without a character limit, and an added sense of permanence. Sounds cool :3 I'll definitely have to make one and fill it with lots and lots of nonsensical rambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomuraBL 851 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 This should be fun. Why do I keep missing stuff though? Anyway, maybe my first blog should be about my first day of high school? Don't know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,919 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) I approve and have always approved! I've been an avid blogger on Livejournal in the past, though nobody seemed to read my entries or care. (Which I didn't mind, I wrote lots of personal stuff and liked to pretend I had an audience) It'd still be nice to have an avenue for a bigger audience. Also, it'll help people get some of their frustrations out of their hearts and out of status updates. Rant in a blog! We get a nifty little feature that expands upon the forums. Everyone wins. Scatcoal (Scootacool) is one of the best admins. (Zoop, you're not included.) Edited August 27, 2012 by Arylett Dawnsborough 5 Aether Velvet is the name of the OC in my avatar. Drawn by me.

Nas 2,873 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Sigh...I remember when I once got a Blogger because I just felt like it, and seemed to know what I was doing, but the instant I did, I was looking up how to delete Blogger accounts. </3 The first achievement in Scootacool's path of mastering the technology of IPS! Now you will slowly take over the wo-...well, actually, let's save that for later. http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png Anyways, thanks very much, man. I know you want the best for this place, and I see it happening right before my very eyes. Honestly, your promotion to Tech Admin was one of the best movements on the forums to date, in my opinion. Blogs should be of very help to the activity of the forum! Oh, by the way, every post I see has two "Blog This" buttons. 3 My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, your promotion to Tech Admin was one of the best movements on the forums to date, in my opinion. Thanks buddy! I appreciate the vote of confidence! I mostly just did the grunt work necessary to launch the blog feature though. The original idea for the blog and how to customize it for MLP forums were things that I cannot take credit for. Basically, I am here in the capacity of a sort of “construction engineer”. The architects give me the plans, and I build. Oh, by the way, every post I see has two "Blog This" buttons. Fixed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
