The blog platform is ready!

Hi everybody,

what do you think about our new multilingual blog platform?

You can have a look to it here: blog expat

We'll improve it little by little, with new plugins and templates!

Please let me know what you think ;)

Julien

Just came across it.
I'll watch it thoroughly when I get time :D

Note that the Expat.com platform is for expatriates only, non-expat related blogs will automatically deleted!

Hmm... am I considered an expat? :P

That site looks great! Is it the same registration(which was done here), or should we register there too?

It's a different registration at the moment ;)

Oops! It's a blog platform! I thought it's a forum!

Hello, I did as you suggested and inputted my info all in lower-case and I got through the registration process fine.  Thank you!  At the end of that process, however, I was told that I would receive an e-mail confirming me as a new user.  I have yet to receive that e-mail and when I try to log in under my new User Name I am given the message "Sorry, you do not belong to any blog yet."  If you could advise, I would appreciate it.  Thanks!

could you please check in your spam box? what was your username? (I deleted a couple of not-activate blogs yesterday, maybe I deleted yours? sorry :/)

I checked my e-mail and there is nothing in my inbox or spam from expat-blog.com.  My username is sherrema and my blog name is Sherrema's Shanghai Stories.  I would like to access it soon.  Thanks for your help!

I can find your username in the database. Your blog may have been deleted by one of our moderators as it's been unactivated, sorry.

Could you please register again

sorry for the inconvenience

Hello, I just tried to register again using all lowercase and this time it won't let me past the first page.  It keeps saying there's a problem.  Not sure what it is this time.

It seems like you are having some trouble with spam blogs.

Yes, and it's quite annoying ... we'll probably make big changes on the platform soon

Hi Julien, is the engine still working?

Forbidden link?! Ouch... Can't access it... Sad

What's this all about? It seems to have originated with the administrators umpteen years ago, but never got off the ground. Was the purpose to provide a place to read other members' personal blogs, or to create a special , separate expat.com blog? I have a personal blog (dormant for the past couple of years, but still...), whose link I give below, in case it's relevant.

Te Website has changed, it was originally called www.expat-blog.net then was renamed https://www.expat.com. The new site is more friendly and able to do more on it.

Well, I don't know, Sim. I don't post here very often. Excuse my ignorance, but what are members doing now that they couldn't do before?

Also... Before I posted earlier today, the last post on this thread had been two years ago, so - excuse my ignorance - what's the actual *purpose* of the thread, please? And how is it more friendly?

Find activities and meet other expats
