About The Local Race Chat Blog

Local Race Chat's Blog is a fully featured blogging feature that enables community members to create their very own online blogs within Local Race Chat. Giving members a place to post thoughts, ideas, etc.. will keep users returning to the community again and again.

Fast Start
Local Race Chat's Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar Local Race Chat editor). There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalize their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.

Fully-Featured
It is a feature-rich blog application, with support for fully formatted WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)posts, attachments, comments, draft posts and categories, as well as seamless integration with the overall Local Race Chat site.

Blog Home Page
Available via a single click from any Local Race Chat page, the blog home page aggregates activity from all member blogs into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, a featured blog post (selected by the administrator or at random), full support for browsing posts by date and overall blogging statistics.

Syndication and Subscriptions
Site wide and per-blog RSS feeds allow syndication to external readers, and full support for Local Race Chat subscriptions enables users to join their favorite blogs and receive regular email updates.

Blog Control Panel
The Blog Control Panel empowers members to control every aspect of their blogs, from permission controls (who has access to view and comment on the blog), to full management of blog categories, draft posts, and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.

Since this is the first day of the Blog release here on Local Race Chat we are going to give the Premium Members a 1st look at it and take it for a test run.. If everything goes well (as it should) we will release it to ALL members by Friday.

Soon we will have a Social Networking feature that will change the look of your profiles too. (No ETA Yet)

Here at LRC we strive to change the way our race fans communicate over the internet giving you more than Just Another Site.:lrc_rules:

You can go to the Blogs by clicking the BLOG link in the Bottom Navigation bar or here (http://www.localracechat.com/forums/blog.php)

Blogs are now available to all members. In order to have a picture you need to upload a profile picture. The Blog uses your profile pic and not your avatar. You can enter the Blog's home page by clicking the Blog link in the lower navigation bar. Click here (http://www.localracechat.com/forums/blog.php?b=1) to see my entry for a few instructions.

Hope you enjoy this very unique feature.
