During that time communities and widgets would load correctly for several minutes at a time and then periodically fail to load. We were able to pinpoint the problem to a hardware failure within our hosting provider and the issue is now resolved. We apologize if any BlogFrog users were affected.

Do I enter a blog or do you take the blogs off my blog page? I noticed that when I click 'Check blog feed' that I get a message that says that my blog has been found but there does not appear to be an RSS feed connected to it. In fact there is an RSS icon for users to access so I'm not sure what's wrong. Also other people's profiles I notice a follow icon and a link to their website. It's not clear to me how that happens either. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just click and follow the simple and easy ways to win. Here's a blurb: Winter Haven Manor sits on a coastal estate in Wales, with mystery and danger in its history. It is the home of Ian, the son of the manor’s groundskeeper and a disenchanted dreamer who is soon to discover a destiny beyond his wildest imagination. It is also the home of Reese, Ian’s troubled nemesis who is heir to the estate, and Libby, Reese’s feisty cousin who has returned from America after losing her father. What the trio discovers is that they are the "three unlikely"--a team of empowered friends meant to save the world, as foretold by a thousand-year-old prophecy. Not only will they have to combine their skills in order to save the otherworld, known as Mag Mell, but they will also have to overcome battles in their own lives as well. Their struggles with the creatures in the otherworld will teach them about who they have been, and more importantly, who they can become. Here's my blog. Enter to win there. http://theblogfrog.com/1020999/forum/134630/free-book-give-away-my-first-novel.htmlFri, 11 Nov 2011 04:21:24 GMT Welcome to a new week at BlogFrog, where we post all of the latest and greatest happening in the communities this week!

What do I need to do?? http://theblogfrog.com/1020999/forum/131669/profile-picture-never-updates.htmlSun, 23 Oct 2011 17:20:30 GMT I deleted my community but I'm still getting e-mails telling me someone joined. Is my community still here? I don't see it. http://theblogfrog.com/1020999/forum/131594/question-about-a-deleted-community.htmlSat, 22 Oct 2011 16:12:41 GMT Is there a discussion in your community that is too funny to miss? Has someone posed a question that simply is not getting answered? Is there a topic in your community that might be a great follow up to something you posted about previously on your blog? Embedding discussions into your blog posts is a great way to: highlight what is going on in your community post something to your blog that is new and different (and EASY) encourage cross pollination between your community and your blog. How do you do this? It's simple. In the lower right hand side of the discussion you'd like to embed, next to the Facebook and Twitter "share" icons is an embed option. When you click on the embed icon a code will be displayed. Simply copy and paste the code into your blog post as you would a YouTube video and you're done! An instant blog post! I've embedded this discussion on the BlogFrog blog so that you can see what it looks like as a blog post...click here to view! Have you embedded a discussion on a blog post before? Why or why not? And if you have, share the link! We'd love to see it! http://theblogfrog.com/1020999/forum/131278/how-to-embed-a-discussion-on-your-blog.htmlThu, 20 Oct 2011 15:24:47 GMT How many times did we use the word "boo" in our October 19th newsletter?

I was responding to a post and accidentally ended up in my blog edit page. I stupidly (although I still don't know why it should have hurt anything) clicked on Update and tried to return to my community, but nothing is there. I also tried restoring to an earlier date, but that didn't work. PLEASE HELP! My community should be at http://livingmontessorinow.com/community/ http://theblogfrog.com/1020999/forum/130083/help-my-community-disappeared.htmlThu, 13 Oct 2011 02:00:38 GMT
