We have just released a new section in the blog member area that helps bloggers at blogtext get their blog out on the web.

One of the new tools is a ping forwarding service that sends your blog updates to many blog sites with a single click.

The other tool is a listing of many websites that take blog submissions manually and also take xml/rss feeds. You can find out more about these new features by going here.

For the next 24 to 36 hours dns changes are going to be changing for blogtext. This dns change will affect emailing of new entry posts notify, sending comment notify, sign up and activation emails.

Most networks around the world should be updated within 8 hours however to be sure all networks around the world are updated, it is good to wait a complete 36 hours.

In a recent announcement we were aware of an image problem in the photos manager. For the last couple of days, some users images were not resized causing an error that looked similar to <img src=. Those images had to be removed in order for users to edit other images in that photo album.

That problem is known to be fixed as some changes to the source came about last night. If you are experiencing an upload problems, please let us know.

It has come to our attention that there is a problem with some images that are being uploaded. The image problem has something to do with images that have an very high resolution. We are aware of the problem and working to fix it.

On Thursday of last week our host disabled our domain without us knowing. This forced us to move data centers while blogtext was down and without allowing us to notify our users. We were unable to get to any of our data for many hours. Once we could get to our data we had to change dns servers. Dns servers basically point blogtext. to a certain ip address. Since we had to change our host/data center, we had to change our ip address as well. DNS  can take up to 72 hours to show up around the entire word wide web.

If you are reading this message, blogtext is at its new data center and users data has been restored.

Before the downtime we were going to release some new features. These have been put on hold to make sure the move is complete.

We will update our blog when more needs to be said. 

If you have questions or comments, submit them to the comments below or contact support here.

The photo maintenance has been complete. The service is back to running as usual. The need for maintenance has come about due to the increase in the interest in blogtext.

BlogText is going to be moving to a new data center within the next week to handle the resources blogtext requires to operate. This move will increase blog load performances. Details on this move will be posted here.

If you have any questions or comments please contact us using this form.

Maintenance to user photos is going to put that service of blogtext on pause for several hours. Please check back later to upload images to your photo blog. Your photo images appear to be missing, this is not the case, they are still there.

The rest of blogtext is working like normal.

The search feature on users blogs had an error after updating the layout. The problem has been fixed.
