If you haven’t noticed I’ve made some slight changes around the community. I like to keep things fresh and clean so I make cosmetic changes. First as you must have noticed we got a new blogengage banner image. Kevin Tan from Internet Marketing Entrepreneur made in exchange for a one year PR4 link back to his website and a PR3 blog roll link on my personal blog seomkt.
About Blog Engage – I even had time to update the about blogengage page which shows much of our functionality in one convenient location. This shows and explains some pretty cool stuff I would definitely be checking it out.
I had to change the Link Love Page. Apparently using the keyword link love and having so many references to page rank on a links page is bad news with Google. This is information I got from an educated source so I changed it. I’m not sure if anyone noticed but it was a page rank 3 but so I did a redirect to a page named cs.php which stands for Cool Sites. It’s no longer page rank based and operates as categories of blogs.
The blog engage main site sidebar has had a change. If you haven’t noticed we have added an upcoming/published most recently submitted link collection. What displays is dependent on what page your viewing.
When on the upcoming page the recently published will display.
When on the published page the recently submitted will display.
I work to make our community better every day and I hope you do as well. I think it would be beneficial to help our visitors know and understand how they can work at making blogengage a better community.

This is the exact reason I’ve added it. I think it will help the new stories get noticed easier. But I must admit the member really have been voting so much more it has been great!

Hi Brian, how can the “Upcoming” become a “Published”. I’m trying to figure out and I thought there should be a specific number of votes but some blogs with few votes gets published and some blogs with many votes are still upcoming.
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael, to get published to blogengage’s front page you need 7 votes. I just increased it seeing the articles were getting sent off the front page fast. Voting has dramatically increased! I do however have good news. Your article can be published 365 days after submitted. This means if you get 7 votes today of 200 days from now your article will still be published!
I hope that answers your questions.
