I'd be interested in opening a blog on Libcom. I'd rather do an individual one here than anywhere else.

It'd be for comment on events and like which wouldn't be appropriate for news.

Cheers

Yeah that will be fine. I don't know how to set you up with one but as soon as someone comes along who does it will be done.

Done smile (for future reference, edit his account, and give him the 'contributor' role status, which has a couple of other permissions attached to it as well).

LW, does http://libcom.org/node/add/blog work?

Not sure about permissions on tags off the top of my head, but try it.

Yes it did work! cool

(Tho i won't necessarily be starting a blog, tho i may! I meant more eg tagging permissions as contributor status would be useful. )

I now seem to have the "add tag" option again which i used to have before changes in tagging, so i added it in. When i submitted it said that teh "change had gone off for moderation" but the tag has been added in already! So either you are lightning quick, Catch, or the change took instantly. I can believe either scenario. smile

That's a very small bug in our revision moderation which doesn't matter too much either way.

I think to save moderation woes, TV times would work as a blog, then you don't have to rely on one of us to sort it out every time. It'd also get it's own RSS feed that way as well (although different from the old one, but I could redirect).

Sounds like a good plan - it will be great to see the Guide go up instantly. smile

Obv if there any glitches I will let you know.

And yes, if you could redirect that would be cool. cool

Catch

The Guide is now up as a blog! tongue

The tag for the TV Guide was added in OK.

If you could do the redirecting link that would be cool.

It is great seeing the Guide go up straight away!

Rob Ray, your wanted competition is here, boy. wink

Love
