Need Beta Testers (Blog Host)

[mdvaldosta]

I've setup a server for blog hosting. Kinda felt bad for those that were using OTz's blog feature and lost it in the software change. These blogs are hosted in a Wordpress multi-user environment.

Creating a new blog is just a few steps, and you'll get you're own subdomain (practically you're own domain). For example, you're web address would be example.blogsavy.com - which is very easy to remember and the best way to host a site. I've uploaded about 20 templates, though they may not all work (haven't checked but a couple) and they're not finished yet (have to do some editing on them).

What I'm looking for are those interested in having an active blog of they're own and are motivated to suggesting new features and reporting any bugs they find (hopefully few). If this is you, please visit:

Blog Savy

And create a new blog : ) This is totally free. And yes I know the homepage blows.

Sorry for the double post. I just finished my first blog.

Me Casa Su Casa

I couldn't find a way to edit the font or size, just to make it a bit more personal.

I plan to integrate the ability for you to modify the colors and images on the template you're using, haven't gotten that far yet (still have to design a homepage and add / fix templates).

PS - this blog won't ever go anywhere and runs on Wordpress so it's very good.

What the Heck, I'll give it a try.. Not much else to do sometimes.. Besides I am usually talking to myself anyways...lol

 

[mdvaldosta]

I'll be working on adding some plugins and other optional features to set your blog apart.

Veronica’s Thoughts

 

[mdvaldosta]

Checked, edited, and seo'd all the templates yesterday. We lost a few, I think there are 20 themes available to choose from now (though they now all work like they should). I also added some available plugins (look in your admin area) and made sure all themes had areas to login from (instead of having to go the the blogsavy.com homepage.

I also implemented "widgets", which is the ability for you to re-arrange and add stuff to your sidebar. Don't like the way it's arranged or want to add something new? No problem, in the presentation area of your admin area you can play around with this.

Coming soon: Ability to change your layout via CSS, as well as your header image... the idea is to make it available as many of the options you'd only have if you paid for hosting, installed wordpress yourself, and had php / html knowledge. I'm still working on the blogsavy.com homepage design, once I get that done the site will go live.

I'd like to know your thoughts so far, have you used any of the plugins (like stats, etc.) and is there anything else that would make you happy? I'm working on more themes also, and looking for some useful plugins.

Themes are now editable. You can change your layout and header / footer images etc. without html or CSS knowledge. : ) Just install the plugin (from your admin area) and then go under your presentation area.
