We have had to turn off new signups however if you wish to get a site simply use the contact form and let me know. I will set one up for you.

I am sorry to make you do one more thing, but I am sick of clearing out blogs for people selling ring tones, and promoting the newest in weight loss drugs. Let me know if you have any problems with the system.

You might also notice that some parts of your blog take longer to update (recent comments, and some sidebar widgets). If you experience any problems let me know.

Long lists of spam links in the titles, dead (I hope)
Mega long spam titles, dead (titles will now be limited to 50 chars)

As always If you have any questions, or is something isn’t working, contact me.

Thank you for your understanding, and don’t worry i am making full backups of everything before I go hacking around in there :)

Well now you can simply go to the plugin menu and turn on your MyDashboard plugin. This will then allow you to customize your dashboard, you can remove the parts you don’t want, and even add custom RSS feeds to the dashboard.

Perhaps you want to add the MySietch site wide feed (that is the most recent of all the posts from all the blogs on MySietch) to your dashboard to keep track of what everyone else is doing. Well now you can. Here are the addresses for the feeds.

All recent posts
http://thesietch.org/mysietch/?wpmu-feed=posts

All recent comments
http://thesietch.org/mysietch/?wpmu-feed=comments

All recent pages
http://thesietch.org/mysietch/?wpmu-feed=pages

If you wanted to add any of these feeds (or any other feed) to your custom dashboard you would do the following.

1. go to the plugin menu and activate the MyDashboard plugin
2. go to your dashboard and click on the add gadget link in the upper right
3. locate the rss feed gadget and click on add to page
4. locate the rss feed gadget on your page and click on the small V icon
5. enter in the feed you want to highlight
6. enjoy

Want to track more than one feed, you can add more than one feed simply follow the same six steps above. Most of the gadgets can be edited using the V icon.

I might be adding more Dashboard gadgets as time goes on.

Let me know if you experience any problems.
