From last night till mid day saturday we were experiencing some problems with the site.

The error has been corrected and we shall resume the blogging.

There are some new updates to blogtext.org that will taking shape over the next few days. As per request from users, users will be able to allow rating on their blog entries as well as ratings on images they post.

In addition to the rating system, we are in the process of completing the stats system. This will allow users to view what pages of their blog are being visited and how often these pages are visited. These stats will include the referring website and time of the visit. That means that if someone comes to your blog from another website link or search engine, that data will be collected and shown to the user.

If you would like to suggest a service or function to be added to blogtext, let us know in the comments below or send us an email.

It has come to our attention today that users could not access the upload screen after creating an album. It is very important to us that our users know this problem has been fixed.

You might have been frustrated, confused or down right angry. Going through a random functionality test it came to our attention that uses could not upload images to albums.

The problem has been corrected and users may continue creating photo albums. If you need help please read entries in the topic "Albums".

When an image is larger than 600 pixels its width is resized to 600 pixels and the height of the image will be proportion to the width of 600 pixels. This makes your image look the exact same other than the fact that it has been sized down.
