We are working on a notification system for the broadcasts, and haven't launched it already pretty much for the reasons you stated. It's an intensive process to send out that many e-mails at once. but you can expect something up and running by the end of next week, of course with the option to quickly and painlessly opt out.

Great review as always Andy.
We are working on a notification system for the broadcasts, and haven't launched it already pretty much for the reasons you stated.

I am pretty happy with my time with them and I love the new changes they have made thus far.

I agree totally with you about having to wait for an approval process. I thought that I was the only one that thought that this was tedious, but it would save a lot of time for everyone involved.

You have written a very good review. Your name is ringing a bell. Are you a designer of a template used at wordpress? I have recently started using wordpress as it is free, compared to my original site http://sleepingkittendancingdog.blogtoolkit.com which is $39.95 monthly. If you are he, then I have a question. Would you kindly look at the URI address at wordpress and tell me if you are familiar with the template I am using? Should your answer be yes, I need to know how to make updates, to my side bar, widgets, buttons, etc. as I have tried another instruction however, the wordpress refused to accept. Do I need to change templates and which do you recommend in order to keep the features I presently have and be able to add the ones I want. Some as I now have on my original site.
I truly hope you are the same person I believe you might be. That sounds strange, but I need assistance. Thank you ever so much for your time. Theresa111

The Blogtoolkits blog you have isn't very good value, you can get very good hosting for a Wordpress blog for as little as $5 per month. That would then be a full version of Wordpress on your own domain.
1. You can't currently use lots of features on your blog such as all the widgets you are used to 2. You cant have advertising on your blog to earn any money 3. if you decide to move to using other software, you might be able to take your content with you, but you would not retain all the links from other bloggers that bring you traffic.
Up until now I haven't released any Wordpress themes but I do get mentioned a fair amount on other blogs.

Andy, What do you recommend…how do I begin to create the perfect web log site? After everything I have digested thus far, I am willing to make it right. Ready to learn more.
Really need some guidance. You have my E-mail address and if you would care to assist me, you can give me advice there and it won't disturb your readers. Thank you very much.

Wanted to quickly mention that our Broadcasts can contain URL's, they however cannot contain HTML. You should also see a reply feature in the coming days.
A lot of the feedback I've seen so far about our broadcasts has been negative, solely for the fact that many users think it's the same model as MyBlogLog's and that by sending the broadcasts they will be annoying a lot of users.

Great Daniel, it wasn't obvious from the allowed HTML elements whether a URL without anchor text would get through, and I didn't test it.
I must admit the feature is almost too unobtrusive. Only people who regularly use the shoutbox will currently see the messages below, which is why I think email with the right controls (friend+opt in) is the answer.
I must admit I haven't seen anything negative written yet.

Hi Andy,
This is completely off topic but I couldn't find your email address/contact form elsewhere on your site so I didn't know how else to get your attention.
When you get a chance can you get in touch with me please.

I was pretty happy when I read this post a few days ago. So many cool new feature additions.
But today, when I logged into my Blog Catalog account after 4 or 5 days, EVERYTHING is gone because of their data loss. You may have seen my blog community, profile and friend's list over at Blog Catalog. Loosing EVERYTHING is a bit too much data loss, don't you think?
Though I won't be active on Blog Catalog anymore, I wish them good luck!

From what I understand it was quite a blow, but these things can happen if your resources are a little stretched.

I would look on the way things are worded. Supporters is not the same as paying for additional features, though that is what you get access to, as well as increased exposure.
I am still a strong supporter of MBL, and they were made aware of this situation well before the readers of my blog, as I hadn't written or had to comment about either for a few weeks.
If there was anything out of order in what I stated, my regular readers would have picked me up on it already.
I practice what I believe is good disclosure, in fact I am a very strong advocate for disclosure.
The help I am giving BC is no different to the help I have given MBL in the past, the only difference is that they have offered to give me a little compensation for the time I invest if they eventually cash out in some way.
I noticed you were excited in entering a contest to win $2500 for ideas. I have been giving all the competitors in this niche lots of ideas for months without any financial compensation.
I think in total I have made something like 40 posts regarding MBL, far fewer for Blog Catalog and Bumpzee, despite the fact I manage what will soon be the second largest community on Bumpzee.

Hey! Blog Catalog looks pretty neat. I just installed it on my blog, along with MyBlogLog, which I've been using for a while now. I think I'll keep both of them on my page for now!
