The YourCommunityBlog.com website will be upgrading it's look and features. These changes are coming January 11, 2010. We will also be changing our name from YourCommunityBlog.com to YourLocalBlog.com. We believe the new name helps better describe the website and is shorter to type and remember. Besides, location is the hot topic in websites right now. Everything is going "local".

Here are a list of new features for the upgraded version of the blog network:

New Homepage Design
New look for free and premium blogs
New theme engine that includes 28 preset themes and allows for custom colors to match your logo.
Custom Background Image upload
Local Coupon/Ads Search

This is just a sampling of new features that are coming to the blog network. Bookmark this blog for updates.

On December 1st we will be shutting down new user registration in preparation for the new website.

We're excited about version 2.0 of the blog network.  Stay tuned....

Driving Directions Feature Added

A new feature has been added to the blog manager and it is driving directions. When a blogger adds themselves to the Community Blog map (on the map marker tab) there is now an option to opt-in for having driving directions show up on their blog. A link will appear on their blog and when the link is clicking on by a user the destination location (a businesses/organization address) is automatically filled in as the end location; the user simply then enters their start location and a map is created that includes complete step by step driving directions.


What is Geotagging?

Geotagging allows you to give a location to a blog post. For example, if you are writing a blog post about your favorite restaurant you might want your blog post to show up on our Stories Map. This allows you to share your knowledge with the world about specific places you've visited.

Geotagging on this website is very simple to do. When you add a new blog entry you will see a field that says "Geotag this blog post". You then simple enter a physical address of the place you would like to geotag and then post the blog entry. This then automatically gets added to the Community Stories Map with a map marker. If you click on the map marker it will have a link back to your blog posting.

As an example, I have geotagged this blog posting for Largo, FL. Click here to view the Community Stories Map to see the marker. The marker will also be added to the blogger's stories map, click here to view my Stories Map.
