More new stuff!

Here are some more improvements that we hope you will enjoy using... We are still tweaking out little bugs; let me know if you find any. (Some of these new bits will be on/off for the next couple of hours or so.)

User profiles: If you're logged in, the title of this paragraph will take you directly to your new profile control panel. We have added some new fields which will allow you to find each other more easily -- by geographic location (temporarily suspended, back soon) you add, however, the easier it will be for your blog to be found or, rather, YOU to be found.

The geographical location fields are pretty much self-explanatory. Interests, however, merit a brief explanation. Think of them as keywords, separated by a space. Do not insert commas. You can enter up to 50 (!) different words that you think will describe your personal or professional interests.

To make it all work, you can now browse through the new profile attributes. After having added location and interest information, all profile pages will have clickable links for both categories. For example, click here. Click on any of the links and you will be on a profile search page, like this one.

Since this is brand new, I'm pretty much the only one who's filled out an extended profile. To the rest of you I say, "GET TO WORK."

New functions: There is a new section, mo'timeNow, that will be the center of whole new set of functions as we continue to update our tools. For now, it is simply a page from which you can download our instant messenging client. Watch this space.

We've also fixed a few bugs and reorganized the interface a teeny bit:

• The "Messages" tab and link has been folded into Community;
• "Subscribers" to ALL your blogs are found in Community->Contacts->Subscribers;
• "Access" settings to your blog are now found in Blogs->Settings->Access.

P.S. The manual will be updated accordingly as I get around to it. In the meanwhile, this blog is the best place to look for the latest instructions.

comment.
for a while now, i've been unable to use my arrow keys in the "write blog" section (e.g. to edit my text). i can click with the mouse and backspace / delete, but cannot use the arrow keys.
i think it's a problem iscolated to moditme because it's fine everywhere else. anyone else having a problem with this?

what operating system and browser are you using?

i have the same problem in Firefox on the Mac. It is a bug with the Open Source editor that we have installed on mo'time. we are working with the author of the code to fix this.

[1] I found a new Icon on my firewall called "LDS" -- is this yours?

[2] Several tries editing out bugs but each time I get closed down and few of my "improvements" have "taken" -- and now I have big black lines between lines of text that won't edit out. Help!

[3] The jpg pictures I had planned to use didn't upload, blank spaces, so I was able to upload graphics from another source. Would you please tell me how to upload jpg's. Thanks.

Hello MaryKathryn: I have invited you to the help blog. Look in your mo'mail inbox for the invite and instructions. These kinds of questions should be asked there, so that other people with similar problems will have better chance to find the answers. I'll be back later tonight to have a look. (No, LDS is nothing to do with us.)
