..college kids come up to a frozen computer and slap the monitor in an attempt to get it to "wake" up.

I'm running for the bus here in a second but I did want to announce our new option for support around here in addition to the support forums.

We have a help desk now.  :)

Afraid that your logins won't work over there so you'll have to create accounts a second time or just send in an email to support ( at ) daria ( dot ) be.  

I'll expand on what I want to do with the system in the morning.  It's been a long day.

Thanks again for visiting,

Greets:

Just some quick site update information today:

Login Speed Issues - I've noticed some slow down when one logs into the daria.be backend. I've had a feeling that this was due to the 2 listings on the Dashboard - the announcements from the daria.be Development Blog and the site wide posts that show up in the little grey boxes along the bottom. They're now being compiled offsite and I'm hoping that it will speed the login a bit. (It seems to) If you notice anything different, please let me know in our support forums.

Spammers - Spammers are not welcomed here. Period. I've already gone ahead and deleted over 2 dozen blogs created by spammers. If the only reason you are here is to create links for your sites elsewhere, please don't waste my time or yours. All blogs need to have original content. Even if it's in a foreign language, please remember that it takes me less than five minutes to get it translated. If it's a spam site, it will be deleted.

Blog stats - I'm still having an issue getting the Blog Stats to load the tables correctly apon blog creation. I'm currently doing it by hand each day. If I miss your blog and it's been more than 24 hours, please let me know in the support forum and I'll get right on it.

Additional Features - If you haven't noticed, we've had our first request for an additional features and I was able to grant it. If there's anything you would like to see added it, please feel free to make a post about it and I'll see what we can do about it.

Thanks again for visiting us today. :)

Well, I'm still plowing through the uploading of pictures over on the Kim Possible Screen Capture site. Just a hair over 25k done so far. After I get them all uploaded, of course the fun part starts with relinking all of the pictures to 800 or so posts over at the webcomic. Still haven't touched the forums nor the online games we host here.

But anyway, how about a video from youtube? :)

It's been brought to my attention that we had a couple of issues with links to the support forums as well as a PHP error on some pages. Both of those issues have now been fixed.

I also noticed that I forgot to mention one of the themes we have installed here:

Waterlily: A blue two column theme.

That gives us a total of 29 different themes you can try. All of the demo blogs now have filler content on them as well so you can see how the different themes look.

Thanks again for visiting,

Quick mention that if you see any issues with any of the themes we've installed, please mention them over at the support forums and we'll get right on them. Today's three themes come from Topi Peltonen. Check them out today with your own free blog here at daria.be.

Bordom: A two column perky theme.

Sweet Pink: Why it's called Sweet Pink, I have no idea.

Neat: A bluish, two column theme

Again, give a yell in the support forums if you have any issues. Thanks again for visiting, -drmike
