Thanks to our Premium members, I was able to purchase a blog software package that integrates with the forum. The software allows you to create your very own full-featured blog with its own URL (and shortly, a unique subdomain) and (optionally) share your posts with the forum. You can also add your existing blog to the forum’s list of blogs.
Update: I have decided to make the blogs free, but provide Premium members with a number of exclusive features, such as making their blogs private, adding HTML to their blog, and using a custom skin.
The option to create your blog is in the top left of your control panel (“My Controls” on top right). Once it has been created, you will find additional options and settings there.
I guess the right now has expired, since it doesn’t work. :lol: Anyway, I think this is a great idea. Premium membership is sounding better and better…

Sorry, I forgot to actually give members the permission to create blogs. Please try again.
Please add a description or slogan to the blog you added that provides some hint of the contents of your blog. (For example, is it personal, political, or philosophical?)
EDIT: I added “The World Through the Eyes of a Student of Objectivsim” Will this do, or would you prefer someting more specific?
That’s fine. I requested the description when I saw Daniel’s “A” blog. If he wasn’t a friend of mine, I wouldn’t have a clue of what his blog is about.
Is it alright with you for users to post links to our favorite sites? This seems pretty common, but since it is your forum and as you are so courteously allowing me and other members to have blogs here, I thought it would be much better to ask first.
edited to change David to Mr. Veksler
I meant no disrespect. I have had a lot of problems with this. I never know how people would like to be addressed.
EDIT(again): I have started a thread on the above issue in Miscellaneous, if anyone is interested.

Blog update: you can now use a customized header/footer by enabling the “Strip forum header/footer?” option. You can also select what friendly URL you want your blog to have.
