Eventually the long waited new version of BlogExpat has come to life.
This free blog service has become a directory of expat blogs, open to any blog of people living abroad. This is an exciting new feature and it will complement perfectly the information on EasyExpat.
You can immediately add your expat blog in the BlogExpat directory and help us grow the expat community.
You can always allow automatically comments on the blog by logging into the Admin area ->Control Center->Blog setting and change it to put:
Enable comments for all posts by default. Comments can still be enabled/disabled for certain posts when creating new posts or editing old ones.
Notification of new comments.
Or you can do that on each article you put on your blog by editing the article and looking at the right hand side column where you can allow column and get notifications so you know when new colums have been posted.
I remind you also that in order to prevent spams, you can read:
If you receive spams, you can always untick Enable comments in your articles at a later stage, and spammers won't be able to post new comments anymore. This is a very strong method, and instead you may prefer to Moderate the comments, so displaying only comments that you validate before.
After months trying to migrate to an other server, we eventually (cross fingers) made it working on a new machine... We appologize for all the inconvenience and issues it might have caused.
It did not only affect BlogExpat but also all the services provided by ExpatGroup.
Hopefully everything is back to normal now ...with improvement even such as more security against spams for your blogs (you can see the AuthImage at the bottom of the comment form) ...
BlogExpat allows you to easily embed videos in you articles.
The video can be inserted via a popup window (button YouTube in the edit form for posts) where users can type the video page URL (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8GoJw-7Q7Y&mode=related&search or the movie URL http://www.youtube.com/v/-8GoJw-7Q7Y)
On top of this, users don't need to worry about XHTML compliancy as the plugin will generate the right code using only <object> tags. (More)
With the new version of LifeType blogs (the system used on BlogExpat) we have implemented 2 new features:
Plugin badbehavior
It prevents spambots from accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots. It goes far beyond User-Agent and Referer, however.
It is activated by default on your blog.
Plugin akismet
Akismet checks your comments and trackbacks against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. (More)
