Orble News - November 2006

Inactive Blogs

November 29th 2006 02:10
Below is a list of domain names which Orble purchased for writers and which have been inactive for at least 40 days.

If anyone is interested in taking over one of these blogs let me know. I'll email the owner of the blog and if they are no longer interested I'll transfer it over.

If your blog is on this list and you wish to continue blogging please let me know and I'll remove you.

Jon.

Domain Blogs

November 27th 2006 00:01
After reading all the feedback regarding paid-for blogs we have decided to keep new domain blogs free, with a couple of changes:

1) New bloggers will buy and own their domain names. This currently costs US $8.95 pa. with Godaddy.com.

2) If a new blogger wants a unique IP address (this helps with Search Engine Traffic) it will cost $10 USD per year. This is what Orble is charged by our Server Company.

These changes enable Orble to add new blogs to the network without worrying about how long they are going to remain active.

Thanks for your feedback everyone, it's always very useful and much appreciated.

Jon.

New Icon and Tagline

November 23rd 2006 05:51
After a couple months of scratching my head I've finally decided on a new Logo and Tagline. I was after a tagline which would reflect what Orble was about, and also encourage people to contribute.

I hope I've come close to that and that's it not too much of a grammatical car crash

Orble Search

November 21st 2006 07:25
I've put up a fairly basic Orble search. I'll be improving it over the next couple of days to include better results and local (a single blog) search as well as having new posts indexed automatically.

It's actually already quite useful. If you type in "Borat" for instance, you can find all of the 18 different posts which people have made on the movie

Domain Blogs

November 20th 2006 05:25
We have made a fairly major change to the way Domain blogs are going to work.

From now on new writers will have the choice of buying a domain blog for $95 (USD) pa. In exchange they will own the domain name, the copyright on any content, and will not have to give Orble any commission from advertising revenue. Regular Orble blogs will remain free

New Orble Homepage

November 20th 2006 04:20
The new Orble homepage is up and running. There are still a few small changes left (such as sub-categories) but the general format should remain the same.

The Popular Posts section has been removed. I felt that the homepage was too confusing with two columns of posts -- one of them had to go and it is possible to view the more popular posts using the vote threshold anyway. It also allowed us to display other things on the homepage like lists of new and popular blogs
