YotBlog

Well, the new YotBlog is working like a dream - it's so easy to use that even the auld goat is managing. Because it uses Wordpress it's easy for me to upgrade it when necessary, and I don't anticipate any insurmountable future problems.

I did originally offer all the people with a Mk1 YotBlog the opportunity to have a new one, but that offer can now be considered time-expired. From now on Yotblog is a service provided specifically for genuine BlueMoment regulars. If you want one then drop me a line or a PM and I'll set it up for you.

Here's the blogs set up so far:

Avilion

Silkie

Claymore

(There are another 3 - Dansa, CliveG and YachtFiona - but they seem to have given up posting for now)

I can also set up individual Wordpress sites on your own domain for people wanting a bit more flexibility and individuality - the Mojomo site is an example - though there is of course a charge for this. Wordpress can be used for almost anything and is the most reliable and easiest to use content management system around. If you are interested, have a look at our Wordpress portfolio

I would agree that it's easy to use - only lack of time is keeping me from getting up to date. I had great plans for the last couple of days, but got caught up posting on forums...

One thing I have noticed is that it seems to attract a lot of pointless comments. I presume these are generated automatically by spamming systems. Some are worded so generally that they could almost be taken as genuine, but the poor English is often a clue. Is there anything that can be done about these? It's not a major nuisance, but...

Feeling guilty, and going back to the blog to add a bit, I see I've acquired a flag and a photo! Thanks Nick.

I am using an extremely efficeint anti-spam plugin on ScotsRenewables - I'll see if I can install it on your blog. Remind me if I forget, I have been drinking Arran Blonde and am awa fer ma tea . .
