GameBanshee Blog System Now Available!

I’m pleased to announce that forum members now have the ability to create and maintain their own blog right here on GameBanshee. Some of the blog’s nifty features include:

Fast Start
Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar vBulletin editor). There is no lengthy setup process – blog owners are free to personalise 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 posts, attachments, comments, trackbacks and pingbacks, draft posts and categories, as well as seamless integration with the overall forum system.

Blog Home Page
Available via a single click from any forum 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, 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 forum 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, trackbacks/pingbacks and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.

Enjoy!
