Blogs on My Merry Christmas

[Jeff Westover]

From your user control panel (http://www.mymerrychristmas.com/forum/usercp.php) you can now set up your own blog (http://www.mymerrychristmas.com/forum/blog.php). If you don't have a blog already or don't understand the whole term "blogging" here is a world-class abbreviated definition: it's your space to publish whatever it is you want -- in depth.

Why have blogs here on My Merry Christmas?

Forums are made for conversation. Blogs are made for opinion and expertise. We know we have plenty of folks here who converse but we want to hear more about their opinions and expertise as it comes to Christmas.

So we're introducing blogs here on MMC.

Our blogs are pretty much like any other kind of blogs you see "out there". You name your blog, set your categories, accept trackbacks and pingbacks, and just write away.

Once you've posted a blog it will automatically be added to the MMC RSS feed, getting out there into cyberspace. We pick up our own feed here and promote new blog entries through this forum here in the Front Office.

So jump right in, fire up your Christmas blog -- who knows? -- you could soon be a Christmas superstar!

I have a blog that I would like to add but am not sure how to get it here. Could someone please explain to me what to do. I feel a little loss (LOL). I'm usually good at following directions.

This isn't for blogs that are hosted elsewhere. It is for blogs that are hosted here -- so you would write pages that look like this one. Go to your user CP, scroll down to blog and start writing. You can see the blogs we have going by clicking on "blogs" in the red bar above.

Aggy....you can however.....copy and paste some entries from your personal blog to here. I find that people do not always have the time to be hopping around from place to place...so sometimes I duplicate something of interest from one of my other blogs to here...gives people easy access.
