Article: Blogs 4 you!

[Chern Ann]

jnr, your blog status has been fixed.

 

[Temperance]

So, will there be some sort of RSS feed? Will there be an option for submissions to cmon to be automatically rolled into the blog? (Could I set up a syndication on Livejournal referencing my cmon RSS feed that would include links to my submissions as I add to my gallery?)

 

[Chern Ann]

There\'s an RSS and ATOM feed in the blog. I\'m working on the gallery RSS feed now, but you can already add your gallery update into your livejournal if you can add javascript to a side bar http://www.coolminiornot.com/go.php?go=faq#addpictures

Great idea CA! I already have a painting blog on Blogger, but it\'s still a good idea

I don\'t seem to be able to log back in to update my blog I\'m on a different computer to the one I used to set it up yesterday if that makes a difference. I seem to be getting the same problem Ritual had - logging in just takes me back to the same homepage but logging out of CMON didn\'t fix it for me.

This is really cool, thanks a lot chern !!!
No all I need is time to paint (damn summer job !!! :cussing: )

Highbulp, login on the main site then go to blog.coolminiornot.com, looks like some kinks still need to be ironed out in the combined login system.

Frenchkid, you\'re welcome! :drunk:

Still doesn\'t seem to want to let me in (not that I\'ve got much to say anyway )

After I type out my info in Create Blog, it says the username already exists. And I\'m pretty sure I didn\'t already register..

?

 

[Chern Ann]

I\'ve created your blog for you, you can go in and edit the details now.

Temperance was here! Haven\'t had a temperance sighting in ages. Cool idea Chern!

I\'m still tweaking the login system, just updated it again but it should be completely unified and working now (I think).

 

[AinuLainour]

Thanks very much Chern.

Works for me now - many thanks :beer:

Chern -

Tried logging in - it says logging in then goes back to the login screen with my username and password in the boxes - but thats it.

I\'m using firefox, could that be the reason?

 

[Chern Ann]

Steelcult, could you logout from the main site and login from the main site, and try to go to blog.coolminiornot.com again?

 

[Sand Rat]

Can do.

Edit - Did so - still get looped at the login page and no option to create.

 

[Gilvan Blight]

Still having formatting issues, where the paragrphs on my blog posting (note) go outside of the box for them cutting off parts of words. I noticed AinuLainour\'s is having the same problem.

Any clue what could cause this or how to fix it?

Is it potentially just my screen size, monitor settings, Internet Exporer?

 

[Chern Ann]

It\'s most likely a problem with the blog template itself. You can edit it by hand to customize it completely to your own requirements from your administration page, so you\'re not necessarily stuck with the default looks.
