Posting and Comments Turned Off

Greeting Terrabloggers.

The scheduled upgrade from MT 2.6 to MTOS 4.1 will be underway shortly. During that time you will not be able to create/modify posts or make comments on any Terrablog.

We apologize for the inconvenience but hope that the upgrade is worth it. We'll try to keep you updated on our progress.

Terrablogs to Upgrade to MT. 4 (finally!)

Fellow Terrabloggers, our long sojourn in the blogging desert of MT 2.6x is coming to a close. On the weekend of the 6-8th of June we will be upgrading the Terrablogs domains to Moveable Type Open Source version 4.

MTOS 4 is a fantastic blogging platform with an impressive array of features & plugins. You can learn more about them at http://www.movabletype.org/

The upgrade isn't going to occur without some hiccups. There are after all some 1731 total blogs across the various Terrablogs domains! The weekend of the 6th through 8th and in the weeks following we will be standing by to help you fix any bugs or bumps that arise in your templates. Most of your pages will work just fine, and you will continue to log in just as you have in the past, only when you do you'll see all the great gadgets and gizmos of the most up-to-date & powerful blogging platform available.

Many thanks,

The Terrablogs Team

Changes to How We Do Indexing

This morning we rolled out a significant change to the manner in which Terrablogs handles blog indexing on the blog portals. People were very excited when we added the ability to index any RSS enabled blog, and today we effectively "cut out the middle man" by making the indexed entries link directly to the blog entries themselves, without the intermediate excerpt page.

We received dozens of requests for this change and we hope you like it!

Spurl

co.mments
Ma.gnolia
De.lirio.us
blogmarks
BlinkList
NewsVine
scuttle
Fark

...as well as a link that allows users to
"Add this blog to my Technorati Favorites!"

It looks like this:
