Blogit reaches 1,000,000 in comments!
Earlier today at 8:44 AM PST, Blogit reached the one million mark in comments as it nears 300,000 blog posts/entries on tens of thousands of blogs written by thousands of Blogit writers. Go Blogit! 
The 1,000,000th comment in Blogit's history can be found here and was posted by Passionflower who has been a member since October 14, 2003.
While the first 500,000 comments on Blogit took over 26 months, the second 500,000 comments took less than 10 months!
Thank you all in making Blogit a vibrant community. Here's to the next million comments!

Category name change
Due to recurring confusion about what is appropriate to write in this category, Romance & Sex is being renamed Relationships.
Please post adult-only content, that is not appropriate for a general audience, in the Mature Audiences category located under Everything Else.
As stated in the Blogit Conduct Policy, laws on this issue vary greatly by location. Rather than simply prohibit such content, the Mature Audiences category was created for this purpose.
Thank you.

"View new comments" section expanded
As requested by several Blogit members, the “View new comments” link located on the “Write” page now shows up to four pages of comments (that is, up to 100 recent comments) rather than only one page with 25 recent comments.
The “View new comments” link available via the “Write” page allows Blogit members to track the comments left on their blogs.
Thank you

The Philadelphia Inquirer Book Editor on Blogit and blogging
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Book Review Editor, Frank Wilson wrote about Blogit yesterday along with some thoughtful commentary on the reading/writing trends in this country and how publishing will be impacted by blogs.
What is interesting about Blogit is that it is a community of writers and readers. In fact, it is precisely the relationship between reader and writer that blogging can bring about that makes blogging worthwhile.
Check it out and let him know what you think. There's a great discussion taking place in his comments section. I'm sure he would like to hear what Blogit members have to say.

Blogit search gets better
At the request of Blogit members, Blogit now allows you to search comments. Blogit has introduced this more comprehensive search feature for all users.
So in addition to letting you search the text in every blog post and every member nickname, you can now also search every comment -- all 700,000+ (and counting) comments on the Blogit site.
To access the new Blogit search, please click on the "Search" link that is located at the top of any Blogit page. And make sure that you select the Comments tab if you're interested in searching all comments rather than all posts or member nicknames. Please note that it may take up to 60 minutes for new comments to appear in search results.
Please also note that the Search box on the left of the Blogit Home page continues to only let you search blog posts and member nicknames, and blog names cannot be searched at this time.
Search away!

New feature: Tracking your blog's readership
For writers, we've added a frequently requested feature. The "Write" page now shows the number of page views on each of your blogs.
This number, which started at zero this morning, will increase by one every time a reader views a page on your blog. This number is updated in real time and will reflect your cumulative page views to date.
To get the total number of page views you've had since this feature was introduced, please return to your Write page or refresh it, and you will be able to see exactly how many page views you've had to date. At this time, this page views counter does not reset -- so you will be seeing *all* the page views you have had since the feature was introduced.
Please note that reading your own blogs will not increase this page views number. Furthermore, page views only increase when someone reads your blog, not when they read a comments page.
Please also note that this feature only tells you how many page views you've had on each of your blogs; rankings and earnings may not be directly related to page views since rankings depend on the number of unique readers each day and earnings depend on how many pages your readers are reading in total each month.
Enjoy!
