few site updates

@ 07:11 PM (49 months, 2 days ago)
small improvements rolled live. They include:

  • If you are logged in, the comments form is now automatically filled up with your user name, e-mail and blogHi url. This means that if you don't log out (there is no reason why you should), we will recognize you and fill the comments form for you, so that you only have to type in the comment. (thanks to mathias for the tip)
  • We don't enforce this "recognition" on you, if you want, you can either log out, or simply change the information as you wish.
  • if you uploaded a profile pic, it will be visible in the browser url, as the so called favicon.ico; as a small but high quality picture. Check wikipedia's favicon page for a detailed information on the topic.
  • if you use the comments form on another blogHi blogs, a small profile picture will also be visible near your comment, with a link to your blog. We hope this will encourage communication between you and other users

Please let us know your ideas or eventual problems with our system or your blog; we'll address them as soon as possible

yours,

That may be very true, but fact is that since blogHi's day 1, about a year ago, we got not even one single serious blogger from over there. On the contrary, all we received from China is a strong and constant atention from spammers; a flood of spam and splogs.

We got rid of all un-used blogs; blogs that were either too old, had too little entries or were not updated at all. If by mistake your blogHi blog was affected, please get in contact with us; we will restore it ASAP.
