Hiya, Palms of AHB fame! :-)

Two questions here
have you started a blog ? and do you get notification that i have added another comment to your comment ?

Palms

And did you have to approve Swampy's comment?

Now that is a question, because i am not sure, I dont think i saw a message so i sort of went on a what does this button do mission and pressed the approve button and there was a message but no email like i have had with your comments Doug ? do i have to acknowledge when i use the approve comment button ?

So there was an approve button? (sorry you got elected my guinea pig)

Yes there is a approve button on the left hand side in the options section, dont mind being a guinea pig, cant wai t for some other bloggers, It's a bit like having a board game at xmas and having no one to play with

Very cool, thank you.

I think the other kids will come out and play as soon as they see how much fun you're having

And yes, just like in the forums a commenter will get an email (unless they turn that option off), but only one until they revisit (that way they won't get bombarded). For example, Swampy should (hopefully) have only the one email, and she'll then see all these other new comments once she revisits. Then she'll get another email the next comment, but only that one until she comes back, etc.

Great now a question for you, will there be some way of knowing if someone has a blog, or will we just have to look ?

They'll have a link in their profile, and on every post (go look at yours). You can click on the number of blogs in the upper left corner of the main blog page to get just a list of who has blogs. And the See More... link will show more latests posts (kind of useless now until others start their blogs).

It may seem like a strange way to navigate with only one or a few bloggers, but with dozens or even hundreds it makes more sense.

Hey we will have this sussed by the time others join in ( problem being it will be my bedtime so will have to wait till tomorrow )

you can set various options like blog owner approving posts before they show and email notification and other things in your blog options panel. you can also set those things on individual blog entries, but i'm not sure which of those would override the other.
