Blogged Blog

We changed the profile page!

We moved the About Me section to the right, above your blog.  It’s a small change, but now you’ll be able to see more of your Latest Activity. It looks  a little something like this:

Now you can keep better track of the comments you have made on stories.

Here at Blogged we want everyone to chat and share their opinions on the news of the day. But let’s face it, there are some people you would rather not interact with on Blogged.  That’s where the Block feature on Blogged comes in handy.

It’s pretty simple.

Find the person you want to block. Click on their name and you’ll get this:

Click on Block User and you won’t see any of their comments or activity and they won’t be able to see yours. It will also prevent them from following you or sending you private messages.

Can’t keep up with all the stories on Blogged? Follow Blogged on Twitter, where we’ll tweet you selected stories from our site.  Sometimes breaking news, sometimes interesting news and sometimes funny news.  You can click on the Twitter link on the left of the blog or click the picture above.

If your blog is in our directory make sure you claim it and verify yourself as the author. By claiming your blog, you’ll be able to easily request changes to its URL, description, title, keywords, screen shot and category. You’ll also be able to link the blog to your Blogged profile.

All you’ll have to do is put a small verification widget on your blog’s homepage that looks like this:

You can get the verification widget one of two ways:

You can also share all or some of your story comments on Twitter as well.

Many of you have asked for this feature and we just wanted you to know that we’ve listened!

Please try out the new Blogged Facebook App and give us your thoughts.  As always, we would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for being a part of our community and we hope you’ll continue talking about the news and sharing your thoughts with your fellow bloggers, friends, and family on Blogged.com.

Welcome to Blogged 2.0! We’ve made the site easier for you to discuss what’s going on in the blog world by giving you the news you’re interested in reading.

Customize what stories you want to receive by adjusting the Reading Style field. Your preferences will determine what type of stories appear in your profile and you can even subscribe to your favorite blogs so you never miss a post.

See what everyone is discussing by clicking on the “Chatter” tab and joining in on the conversation. You can also share your thoughts and comments with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Start a discussion on any topic you like.

Follow what comments users (that you pick) are making in the “Find People” tab and don’t miss out on their thoughts. If you find a story you want to talk about, add it by submitting the article in the “Start a Discussion” section.

Bloggers, now you can use the new Blogged to easily share your articles from your own blog with your friends. It’s a great way to get feedback or get a discussion going on what you’ve written. All you have to do is select “My Blogs” from the drop down menu. It’s that easy.

We still have our directory intact, which you can use to find new blogs.

It’s all new, so we would love to hear what you think. Send us your feedback at support@blogged.com

Alright, it’s been a while since last time. We know. But we come back with something fun.

You may have noticed that we now have a place for you to tell everyone what you think of the stories we post.

It’s a great way to start up a discussion, recommend folks read the story, or just tell us your thoughts.  So come on, click and start writing. You don’t even have to be member of Blogged (but it’s better if you are) to tell us what you think of stories on Brady Quinn or Lindsay Lohan or Barack Obama. You get the idea.

Blogged is now a PageRank 7! That’s 7/10! Pretty good right?

We want to send out a special thanks to all our users for making this possible.

Now, let’s start working on getting a PageRank of 8!
