Excellent news. I noticed an immediate and totally awesome difference this morning when I was clearing out spam. Thanks all for your hard work.
taniwha says:
No worries Earthlad. I think that everyone is free to comment on the posts.
mat says:
There may be some glitches and weird-outs that I haven't spotted. Please do mention anything that seems wrong. Email posting seems a little flaky right now, but that might be down to the DNS update still propagating - that should fix itself in no more than 48 hours.
ALL [anything].moblog.net domains are currently wrong and I'm chasing the domain hosts to fix that asap.
One other thing you might spot is that new posts and new comments and so on might not make it to the latest page immediately - this is due to our shiny new caching system, so give it a few minutes and it should update. It's a known issue and it is deliberate. A few minutes between cache updates hugely reduces the load on the system.
Viv says:
Thanks Mat I know that this hasn't been an easy task but so worth it.
And earthlad comments welcome. The idea was to have a place to communicate.

you're kidding. really? for real? have to try it out. like a new car..
I ran around moblog like a speedqueen. She's got a lot under the hood now, looking forward to a new chapter.
Earthlad says:
Hi peeps im confused about how google and other search engine saves and finds links and sites, any tips on getting my moblog to appear in google? for instance if I sent @mail with pics and story and all the code for tags and location is that better than posting a pic and then adding tags and location, and adding more pics, n links, please
Viv says:
afraid I've no idea - but sure lots do
as for the non bloggers access we don't seem to have much of a problem now - just be grateful if you remove any spam arriving on your blog
Earthlad says:

Anyone else having problems with the map? (And the forum, which is why i'm posting this here...)
I type "Nottingham, UK" and it asks me to choose between "Nottingham, UK" and "Nottingham, Highland KW3, UK". I click the first option... and nothing happens. So my photos aren't making it to my map :(
Wendle says:
Urgh, forget it. Moblog's "quirks", honestly. I just typed NG1 and it was fine.
crickson says:
The site feels really fast and responsive. A fantastic improvement. Thank you for all the hard work!
moblogmods says:
Wendle - the forum has been temporarily disbandoned partially due to heavy spam
I should think it is on the to do list - but meanwhile here is fine.
Earthlad says:
Ok ive just changed my comment settings to public, because I would like it open, ill keep a very close eye on comments and change it back if necessary
Earthlad says:
To answer my own question - how to get your blogs noticed, http://www.garthobrien.com/bloggers-you-are-missing-out-on-image-search-traffic/ is a short and interesting blog, the naming of the original pic seems to be most important, just thought id share.
