There was an error with the listing of users blog subscriptions. The problem was that only one of the users subscriptions to other blogs would show in the list. Users who are subscribed to two or more blogs would only be shown one.

This error is now fixed.

Albums names are used to organize your images. For example, if I wanted to upload pictures from a wedding, I would create a album called "joes wedding" and upload images under the album name "joes wedding".

After you create an album you can upload images. Users can have one or more albums.

Users albums can be viewed by going to http://www.blogtext.org/yourusername/myimages

An example would be: http://www.blogtext.org/help/myimages

Members of blogtext can start making albums now. Click here to get started. If you are not a member of blogtext join here.

What is account activation?

A short answer is that account activation is verifying your email address.

Long answer. An account is activated when the user clicks on the link that was sent in an email. The link has id's associated with one user account only. The information that is sent in the link is processed once it has loaded in your browser.

Blog subscribe is a feature that allows users to get email updates when new entries are created to blogs that have the blog subscription turned on.

Each blog has this option and not all blogs will allow subscribers. It is up to the blog owner to decide if users can subscribe to their blog or not.

In order to use this feature you must be a blogtext member.

Users can subscribe to other users blog by clicking the blog subscribe link located at the top right of every users blog. If you do not see a blog subscribe link, the blog owner does not have the feature turned on.

One user can be subscribed to one or more blogs. A User can manage all their subscriptions from their User Profile inside the blog manager..

Blog owners can turn on or off their blog subscription feature by going to their blog settings in the blog manager.

A topic is name you will use to group your blog entries so that they are organized. For example if you are going to write an entry about your experiences on vacations, an ideal topic would be Vacations or My Vacations.

A good topic should not be too specific, so that very few entries will fit that topic. An example of a bad topic would be The Day I Fell down a Hole. This would be a great title to a blog entry; an ideal topic for such an entry might be Do Not Do This.
