Blogroll Housekeeping

Our main and sleeping blogrolls need a little bit of tidying up.

Due notice is given that on February 1st, any Blogpower Blogs that have not made a 2008 posting will be moved over to the dormant list (Sleeping, Perchance dreaming). Conversely, any sleeping beauties that have woken up will be moved back. (Any that become 404 not found will be deleted).

Housekeeping

Too many things all at once. Plead pressure of work.

1] Mutley the Dog is now one of us [what a coup] but we need to get him blogrolled a.s.a.p.;

2] Lord Nazh has a great banner for us to use both here and for you to put on your site;

3] Colin Campbell, of Adelaide Green Porridge Cafe, had an excellent Carnival of Cities.

I'll get on to these things now.

Blogpower developments

As almost all of us know, our new homepage is Tom's Pageflakes page but he has suggested and I concur, that we should retain a forum page such as this, linked from Pageflakes.

Lady Ellee has suggested we need to have the word Blogpower up front and Defending the Blog as our tagline. This is fine but we then need to set up a new blog, under the Blogspot system. Or else we choose another, monetary free system such as Wordpress.

My suggestion is that:

1 we retain this page as our archive, our history, put in a tagline to state this and suspend the comments facility;
2 we set up another forum type page for fora and I'd like your thoughts on this matter as to the format which would best serve our needs;
3 we put the pageflakes banner on our sites instead of the current banner [see Tom's own site] and I'll be doing this as soon as I can resolve my template issue;
4 we expand our administrative committee to include maybe five persons;
5 we place a time limit on this changeover of this coming Sunday, March 4th, to achieve all this.

Your thoughts?

Three Blogpower issues

1] We're having enormous problems accessing the blogroll to update it. Rest assured we're working on this and a solution will be effected before the end of the week.

2] Tom's suggestion is grand and I'm into this straight away. For my own particular situation, please access my site.

3] We are now in Beta and any adjustments which need to be made we'd best make. It wasn't my decision, by the way. When I came back last evening, it wouldn't let me at my site unless I converted - it was the only channel to get to my own site. Then, when I got there, I was informed that ALL my other blogs had also been converted. Sorry if that has put a spanner in the works but I seriously 'knew not what I was doing'.
