MyBlog - a new ExplorOz innovation

Motherhen,

I had this thought when I was writting the system and decided to release the function without it and see what feedback we received. Well I got what I expected I suppose and it did not take you long to point it out. I was thinking of having a sub tag connected to the Places/Destinations and Things to See & Do tags that would allow you to add a sub tag to link the entry to a state/region or other ExplorOz content article or trek note. I just did not work out the exact mechanics of making this work.

The other thought I had was to allow you to click on a map and assign it to a region that way. Regardless of how it is input I guess the first thing I have to do is provision the database to store the additional tag information. I just cannot determine of a waypoint reference or region reference is the best. I think I will work on a region reference as this is the easiest for me to implement at this stage.

It will take a few days to get loaded and will have to wait till after easter but I will endeavour to get it sorted. You can always Edit your entries and attach these tags at a later time so do not stop loading your content.

By the way you can enter a date for your entires and this will help people work out the age of the content, I notice you have added this to the title but simply type in a date around the time of the trip and the system will add these dates for you. So use the last day of the trip say as the entry date. This is how we are loading our journal data.

Thanks for the feedback and please provide us with more and we will endeavour to get them all loaded.

May as well add the other question I had about integrating the Blogs system. I was thinking of adding a link at the top of the forum to the latest blog entry. It would be located in the first thread field on page one of the index (if this makes sense). Does this sound like a good idea, maybe it should have say the latest 4 or 6 enties listed by title or similar.

I am open to input on this, as you can expect the Blogs is a logical extension of the forum system so having easy access to the latest blog entires in the forum is sonething I am keen to persue, I also know that the system is new however I would like to get those personal stories and journals out of the forum system and into the blogs systems as this is a more natural way to manage this type of content.

Motherhen sorry to hi-jack your thread however it is all related to the blog system. Over to you all.

Hi again David

I'm back to MyBlog, and adding more files. Can i amend my own files? As they are attachments, being word documents with photos, i would like to add a photo in the text box for each file, but i didn't think of this until i had added a few Blogs.

Mh

Another question on the Blogs David.Mine says i have 12 loaded, but i can only see ten of them. How do i see the rest - of mine, as well as of everyone's?
