MyBlogLog reaches an important milestone — comment spam!
Some days I hate the internet. Well, that's a lie. I love the internet (thanks Al!) but I hate Doris Buka. A number of you have received messages from Buka and I would ask you to disregard her message, or at least be aware that you were one of a hundred or so users that she spammed this morning. As soon as one of the MyBlogLog tech team comes online, we'll mass delete the message and Doris will be but an unhappy memory.
We're also now discussing adding a captcha (Wikipedia: captcha) to the message pages. We loathe the things, but they're still slightly better than comment spam. Thanks for your patience and enjoy the weekend!
The Read Roll Configurator Lives
Good news for everyone who uses the Reader Roll widget! As with our world-famous Top 5 Links widget, you can now use a color picker to change its looks and integrate it perfectly into your site's color scheme. Plus, we've added some additional features to enable you to make it your own:
Change the title: "Recent Readers" not doing it for ya? How about "My Blog's Most Wanted" or "These People Owe Me Money" or something else clever. Make it say whatever you like.
Choose whether to show screen name: Want to show more picture and less text? Turn screen names off and we'll fill the entire row with pictures
Choose full- or half-size pictures: Want to get the same great widget in half the space? Squeeze all the pictures in half to pack a lot of punch in a little space. This works especially cool in conjunction with turning off screen names on sites with large communities.
Pick the number of rows and widget width: Fine-tune the size of the Reader Roll layout so that it kicks the most butt possible on your blog or web site.
So get to it! Go to your MyBlogLog community page and customize a Reader Roll that looks great on your own site.
July 21st Update: It get's even better! For you techies out there, we've added the CSS info for the Reader Roll widget. Want to change the cell padding or fonts or type formating? You'll find the necessary information below the javascript code on your widgets page. Have fun!
Blog Picture Uploads are working again
A number of people reported that they couldn't upload pictures using the image crop tool. We've gotten that sorted and you are go for uploading shots of your blogs and web sites!
