When you attempt to login to Blogs4me you will notice a new "Remember me" checkbox.  When you check this box and login successfully you will automatically be logged in next time you visit the site.  This will only work when using the same internet browser on the same computer you originally checked the “Remember me” box with.

For example…If you check the “Remember me” box on your home computer it will only remember you on that computer.  When you go to work you will have to recheck that checkbox to have your work computer remember you as well.

If you wish to remove the auto login feature once you have checked the box simply click on the logout link.  This will remove the cookie on your machine.   The next time you come back to Blogs4me you will need to manually login again.
Enjoy!

I changed the ticker so it will now read your timezone setting and set the dates in the ticker correctly. 

I had to flush the previous entries in the Ticker so those of you who log on in the next few hours will see some "undefined" entries in it.  Just ignore them.  They will go away once the Blogs4me action fills it up.

I think it is working.

You can now update your user profile to share a few things about yourself.  Just click on the "Change My Profile" link and fill out the surveys.  This is 100% optional as is every question.  Only answer what you feel comfortable with.

On the right side of every Blogs4me blog you will now see a link to view a user's profile.

Enjoy!

I am currently adding a profile page to all of your blogs.  This will give you the option to tell alittle about yourself if you want to share.  The page will be 100% optional...only fill out the surveys if you want the information known to the public.

 If you click on the "Change My Details" link on your user home page you will notice it is currently under construction.  Hopefully by the end of the day I will have it live and working.

Audioslave was absolutely amazing last night.  2 straight hours of head banging has left me in a state of immobility but it was definitely worth it.  They blew the place away with every song.  I have to admit the Rage Against the Machine songs they played were the best.  I lost my mind during Killing In The Name of. 

They also played the old Soundgarden song Rusty Cage which kicked soooo much ass….I’M GOING TO BREAK MY RUSTY CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND RUN!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was getting over my 7 broken ribs back in February I use to play this song all the time to keep my spirits up.  Sooo Good!!!

Cornell came out and did some acoustic songs at about the mid point of the show.  He actually played Redemption Song by Bob Marley which was great.  I knew every word to the song thanks to my college roommate Justin who is a huge Bob Marley fan and played him every Sunday morning after a serious weekend of partying. I may have been the only person in the place singing along.

All of Audioslave’s songs were amazing as well.  Right on the money like you were listening to their CD…except really loud.  I have to admit I was somewhat annoyed with the Hartford crowd.  Everyone standing there like a bunch of statues staring at the stage….COMON PEOPLE.  It is not every day we get a band like this in Hartford…at least TRY and have a good time.  I think I was making a scene with my head banging but I could care less.  Seems like I have been doing that a lot lately as some of you may have noticed in Moonz’s blog.

I am going to see audioslave tomorrow night.   I can hardly contain myself.  They are probably my favorite band at the moment.  There is something about the sound of Morello's guitar that inspires me.  I will probably sing the entire concert and have no voice the rest of the week but it needs to be done.

SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adding images to your blogs seems to currently be one big pain in the butt.  I am working on making it much easier.

I did add a new filter that will resize the images if they are too wide for your blog.  This will stop your blog from over extending the right column which will make your blog run off the page.  This is very experimental so if it doesn't work let me know.

Damn I'm getting good.

I have updated the Blog Entry Form to allow more options when writing your blog entries.

 You can now add images, change alignments ect.

There is not alot of prupose to the friends links right now.  I am still not 100% completed with the friends system.  It is more for the future in case there is ever a large increase of users.

Eventually you will be able to set your blog settings to only allow your friends to comment on your blog entries.  You will still have the option to allow everyone to comment on your blog as well.

I have added email alerts to all of your blogs.

 BY DEFAULT ALL EMAIL ALERTS ARE TURNED OFF.

 You now have the option in your "Change My Settings" link to turn on email alerts for when you receive new private messages or blog comments.

 If you are logged into the site you will not receive an email alert for a new private message or comment.  You will also only receive one email message when a new comment is made to one of your blog entries.  Once you have read the new comments and logged off then you will receive another email if any comments are made to that specific blog entry.  This will stop you from receiving 25 emails if 25 people comment on your blog while you are away from the computer.

 If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

This is a test of the new Blog Entry Form.

It should do a better job at giving everyone more freedom in their blog entries. It will probably be somewhat buggy for the time being so make sure you save what you are writing.

I will be adding to this form:

1. Link Button
2. Image Button
3. Alignment buttons.
