Why do I need MyBlogLog?

For some, it's the glory; for others it's the danger. Still for others it's the way members of the opposite sex find them a little more appealing.

MyBlogLog enables you to track that last little bit of information about your website. You probably already know where your users are coming from and you probably already know what pages they're looking at while they're there. However, if you have a blog or any other site where you frequently post new content on the main page, you don't have a good way of tracking what people find interesting. One way is to track when people click on the links you provide. Up until now, outbound link tracking has been a pain in the butt, requiring CGIs and managed links. MyBlogLog makes this process easy.

But why do you need to know what people find interesting on your site? You can use it to tune your content to be even more compelling for your readers. You can use it to determine which stories you should follow up on. Hell, it's just cool to *know* what people find interesting, even if you don't do anything with it.

Is MyBlogLog a replacement for my existing stats package?

Not at all. MyBlogLog is all about tracking "the missing links" - what makes your readers click to leave your site. (i.e. What really interests them.) Existing stats packages are great for telling you how people found your site and what they looked at while they were there. MyBlogLog tracks where your readers go when they leave your site in a non-obtrusive way. We do not alter link URLs or send the browser through a tracker webpage.

Can I try MyBlogLog for free?

Totally! Sign up for the free version and take some time to figure out if it's worth spending your hard-earned cash on. You can convert to the Pro version any time and you can always switch back to the free version if you find you're not using the Pro features.

What is the meaning of life?

What we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One, people are not wearing enough hats. Two, Matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields, which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source, which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist automatically, as orthodox Christianity teaches, but has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved due to mankind's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

How Do You Pick Hot or Featured Members?

How it works is a combination of amazing us through stats, being tagged "Hot Member" by your peers and having a particularly interesting story or page. It's a handpicked process, so chances are we miss quite a number of great sites. If you think yours is fab, let me know (robyn@mybloglog.com) and we'll consider it.

How do I see all the communities I've joined?

To see all the communities you've joined, go to your main profile page.

Scroll down to "New Neighbors In My Communities". At the bottom of that section there is a link that says, "view all my communities." Click this link to see all of the communities you've joined.

How do I drive traffic to my site?

MyBlogLog is not designed to build traffic to your site or to give you a community, although we are super excited for you when it works out that way.

Most people with large communities have them either because their blog is popular and they advertise the community **on their blog** or because they message and talk with other MyBlogLog members and they join communities that are interesting to them and other members join their community.

If your site is of interest to people, in the coming days you will see a number of people checking out your community, much like people stumbled upon your blog in the early days, they'll find your community slowly but surely, if it's relevant to them.

Good luck.

should I do tWhato prevent spam?

You'll probably see many messages that annoy you on any community site. People have different definitions of spam, and some people choose to message you every time they update their site while others only message to chat.

On your community site, if you see a particularly annoying neon sign of an avatar, you can also hover over their avatar and click the red x to make them disappear forever to you.

Note: This only works on your widget and on your community page.

Spam Community Messages: Messages that come to you because you joined a group are easy to stop. Simply navigate to the offending group and click the large green button that says "Leave Community".

Best Advice To Stop All Spam: Choose to only allow messages from your contacts. Many people think this makes more sense, though it does hamper your ability to make new friends a bit.

How do you determine Mature Content?

Because the avatars that we use on MyBlogLog are viewed all over the web, on a variety of types of sites, the avatars we choose should reflect that situation. Knowing that your avatar may end up on a site that caters to family viewers or business readers should help you understand why certain images, even if they are not porn, are not allowed as publicly viewable avatars.

Not allowed for use as an avatar:

- bathing suit pictures

- cleavage pictures, or images of someone wearing only a bra and panties

- images of sex toys and paraphernalia

- nudity of any kind

- images simulating sexual activity

We tend to be more lenient with screen shots and other images that you upload to MyBlogLog that are not displayed on the Recent Readers widgets. However, because MyBlogLog does not require age verification, we still ask that you keep your images suitable for all ages.

Someone creepy has added me as a friend

If the creepy person is showing up in your My Admirers section, rest assured that the only person that can see that section is you. Since the section is designed to let you know when someone 'admires' you, we did not create a delete option there.

However, on the pages for your blog (community) and on your Recent Readers widget, you can easily removed a visitor by hovering over their picture and clicking the red x. And, remember, you can delete any message by clicking the delete link.

Of course, if creepy turns into harassment, please let us know, as harassment is illegal.
