ViperAlley Blogger

I've been toying with the idea of a ViperAlley Blogger where users can setup their own "blogs" for whatever they want.

I've setup one for Paul Mumford at:

All the login ids from here are usable over there - so login with your id if you would like to make your own Blog or post comments on others.

Feedback welcome - its a work in progress.

whats a blog???

Well, its like a journal... they are pretty popular on the Internet - AOL just bought the biggest one for some big bucks...

I honestly dont know if people here would want to use them - I put it up and did a couple hours work to integrate it with the user database here; but just to see if there was an interest.

It works alot like the forums - You start a topic and then people can post comments in your journal.

I read "Alley Booger", that sounded a lot more scandalous.

blog: contraction on Web Log... collection of daily thoughts, rants...

Okay, it's been an all day job; but the Blogger should be fully integrated with your login here. If you click on Control Panel on the main blog index page, you can setup your own "blogs".

I plan to add the ability for members to "moderate" their own blogs so you can remove entries that you dont want in your area. You also have the option of making private blogs which you can share your link with (there is no security on these, they just dont show up in the public blogs).

It's a work in progress, but should be fully functional soon.

In case you dont know what a "blog" is - is a type of journal. You can start a blog on any subject you want and others can post their own to add to your blog. Its very similiar to starting a thread here and having people respond, except you have more control over how the page displays (even being able to edit the template) and the moderating feature which I will be adding.
