Site Update - Blogs


Admin

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Blogs are returning...that's right, a feature that will allow you to create and manage your own Blog where you can create entries on what ever you would like and other members can comment on them.

 

You can create a Blog recording each step you take through your training, a brain dump on your thoughts about aviation, building your aircraft, your personal experiences in aviation and flying...just about anything that you want.

 

The development of Stage 1 is complete and here are some screen shots:

All that is left for me to do is copy across all the blogs and entries from the old software that we use to use. That is on the agenda for tomorrow and then copy it all across to this "Live" site for you to start using.

 

Stage 2 will come in a couple of months time which will include extra enhancements to make it a full featured blogging platform for you.

 

So look out for the Recreational Flying User Blogs, coming very soon!

Hi All

 

It gives me great pleasure in announcing that the Recreational Flying User Blogs System is now back up and running live here on Recreational Flying.

 

I have imported all the user blog entries from the old software however any attachments were not able to be copied across so please accept my apologies for this and if you have a blog entry that is now missing an attachment, could you please edit your entry and attach the images again.

 

I hope you use the User Blog System to create your own Blog and post about what interests you and ask all other users to support the system by not only just creating your own blog but also make comments on other user's blogs.

 

This is only Stage 1 of the Recreational Flying User Blogs System and in a couple of months they will be enhanced even further into a full blogging system but first, let's get the system up and running and proven.

 

The Blog System is one component of the entire "Community" systems we have here at Recreational Flying for you to use. Under the "Community" banner we have:

 

1. Forums - these are general discussion forums that are grouped into categories for users to discuss recreational aviation related areas of interest whether it be about your actual flying or your aircraft, you can discuss all this in the forums of Recreational Flying

 

2. Social Groups - these are your own user generated forums that are based on a specific topic of interest and are controlled by the user(s) that generated the Social Group. You can have your own Social Group for say your Flying Club or a specific area of aviation that is not covered in the general forums like specific aircraft user groups and more

 

3. User Blogs - blogs are a way for a user to tell the world about a specific interest or activity of the blog creator. They can be used as a type of journal or the thoughts of the blog creator on a specific topic. Once a user creates a blog entry, other users can comment on that blog entry which is all controlled by the blog creator...blogs are your personal way of communicating to world about what ever you want to or what ever your thoughts are.

 

4. Chat Room - the chat room is a medium where you can have "live" group discussions on anything or even have live one to one discussions, you can use text, audio or even video through a web cam to participate in live discussions with many other like minded aviators. You can use the built-in whiteboard, play music and videos, share images and even give each other animated thoughts. (NOTE: The Chat Room is currently not updated to work with the site however it is the next thing on the agenda to update now the Blogs have been completed)

 

So there are the 4 "Community" focused components of the Recreational Flying web site for registered members to use freely and I hope you get some enjoyment in using them...as always, any helpful comments on how to improve the site for you are always extremely welcomed!

 

Coming soon is a fantastic new site search function that can actually try and ascertain what you be looking for by using words less then 4 characters unlike the site now (coming after the Chat Room update). Plus there are some more great features currently being worked on to be included in the "Free Pilot Resources" section.
