AllCeline Posted April 24, 2005 at 02:56 PM Posted April 24, 2005 at 02:56 PM Sweetness! I just have one question, can it be about anything or does it only have to be Celine-based?

Clari Posted April 24, 2005 at 07:03 PM Posted April 24, 2005 at 07:03 PM Wow... that's an awesome feature! Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/CelineSmiles/hamster.gif CLARiSSA Xxx...

Bellamy Posted April 27, 2005 at 05:27 AM Author Posted April 27, 2005 at 05:27 AM I noticed some members forgot to "Publish" their blogs after write them. You must "Publish" your blogs to let others view them. Others can't view your "Draft" blogs. this is very important. and there's another very useful feature in our blogs. it is called "Enable Friendly URLs" in "Your Blog Settings". if you enable this option, and input "Your friendly url name". your blog URL will be something like http://www.celinedionforum.com/blog/yourname/ , instead of something like http://www.celinedionforum.com/index.php?a...blog&blogid=??& . so you can link your blog to other places easier too, and search engines can index your blog easier. I highly recommend you to use this setting to make your blog more popular. Quote Please support the forum by ordering everything through our special Amazon.com link Click here. Thank you!
