Thanks to new forum, I have activated a new feature that I hope many of you will use (and I will too): Blogs. See top menu for the link.
Here below a brief description (taken from vBulletin material) on what are vBulletin Blogs and how to personalize them.
Hope you will like this new possibility.
----------
BLOG FEATURES
vBulletin Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message. There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalise their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.
Fully Featured
It is a feature-rich blog application, with support for fully formatted WYSIWYG posts, attachments, comments, track backs and ping backs, draft posts and categories, as well as seamless integration with the overall vBulletin system.
Blog Home Page
Available via a single click from any vBulletin page, the blog home page aggregates activity from all member blogs into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, a featured blog post (selected by the administrator or at random), full support for browsing posts by date and overall blogging statistics.
Syndication and Subscriptions
Site wide and per-blog RSS feeds allow syndication to external readers, and full support for vBulletin subscriptions enables users to join their favorite blogs and receive regular email updates.
Profile Support
Member blogs are integrated with the vBulletin profile system – profile information is displayed alongside blog posts, and existing profile pages are enhanced with information about blog activity.
Blog Control Panel
The Blog Control Panel empowers members to control every aspect of their blogs, from permission controls (who has access to view and comment on the blog), to full management of blog categories, draft posts, trackbacks/pingbacks and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.
Full Control
Integration with the vBulletin usergroups permission system allows site owners to regulate which users are able to create blogs, and enhancements to the vBulletin admin control panel give administrators total control over the whole system.
Fully Customizable
Blog utilises the powerful vBulletin templating system, and will automatically inherit styles and color-schemes from the forums, for total out-the-box integration.
Anti-Spam
Full support for the Akismet anti-spam service stamps out comment spam.
