Still have a little bit of backend formatting but not a big deal at all, going to finish it on the live site.

Within the hour, you guys will be using the NEW REW Blogs!

One thing that is a bit of a pain, and I really tried to avoid it, however there is really no way around it - that thing is your listings - You are going to have to re-enter them.

The reason for this, is that the new blogging system has a completely different and much more advanced listings management component (So in essence it kicks way more ass) but because the fields are different etc, we could not simply import the listings from the old less advanced system - My apologies for the inconvenience, but I think you will be pleased with the results.

Early bug reports please report here - Undoubtedly there will be some debugging etc we need to do, but no time like the present right!

Looks very nice Morgan. You'll have to let us know what the criteria is for "most active" "most popular" etc. are. Also, in the transition, no link from anyone's blog transferred over. If you look at an individual entry or two, you'll see what I mean. Also, what are the "Blog Friends" and "Blog Signature" options?

Anyway, just some observations and questions.

What do you mean - "No link from anyone's blog" transfered over? Can you clarify?

In terms of most active, most popular etc - There are 2 types "Posts" and "Authors"

On the posts side (From the main page)

Most recent is obvious, it is the most recent 15 posts made.

Most active refers to "Active discussion" in fact I should change the name - It basically takes the blog posts from the last 15 days, and ranks them in terms of who has the most comments - the top 15 are listed.

Most Popular means the blog posts that have the most unique views within the last 15 days.

Top rated, hopefully this one is obvious as well - This refers to the highest average rated posts in the last 15 days.

The authors side is similar, however I believe it is for a much longer periord than 15 days.

For example, look at my latest blog entry on ever.com I had 3-4 links discussing the ever site and none are hyperlinked any longer. Specifically, the last line, "Anyway, enough said. Consider creating some holiday lenses, as well as adding your website to the best-real-estate-websites-ever," had the 'best-real-estate-webistes-ever' url linked.

Anyway, no blog entry anywhere in the REW blogs has any links within the body of blog post.

Actually, no I didn't. That was going to be another question I had.

Ahhh, how special.

It's midnight here. I'm no spring chicken! I'm goin' to bed!

Actually, you know what, I did not even notice that - It looks like the texts, but not the embedded links got carried over - we backed everything up, so should be able to address this in the morning - great catch! Thanks

i was going to ask if it was ok to put listings in a blog, but from your statement i assume it is ok. i'm not much of a writer but wanted to start blogging, and figured i'd start with some listings.
