Yes, there is a handy content block that Blog Owners can activate. Most blogs have it somewhere on them, and it works much like the list of members at the bottom of a topic.

That's who is currently viewing your blog. I think he was wondering if you can see who has favorited your blog.

Does the thing about no social networking stuff include the Twitter Feed you can add?

Twitter feeds are allowed, as long as the updates are appropriate. :)

I'm afraid that isn't possible. Only way to do that is ask people if they have your blog fav'd, lol.

I know that typically using spoiler tags outside of their intended use (namely, spoilers) is generally frowned upon, but would it be acceptable to use spoiler tags to hide my ridiculously long chain of blog approvals?

I would venture to say it would probably be better to just have links if there's that many.

 

As for whether or not using the tag is acceptable, I can't say for sure, but I would assume no. :unsure:

A better way to condense your blog approvals would probably be to link individually to each approval. That way, no one will report you for spoiler misuse, people will be able to pick which approvals they want to look at, and it will cut down on your blog's load time.

Is just mentioning social network sides, as the one starting with a FACE and ending on a BOOK?

Mentioning social networking sites isn't allowed, no.

Twitter is the exception to that rule, though.

You can mention that, and put a feed to it in your Blog, if you wanted.

Is anyone else having problems deleting content boxes? I want to delete one, but when I click 'delete', it does nothing.

What is allowed for blog contests? I was wondering if you could do a short story contest in your blog.

That's fine. You can do pretty much any type of contest you want [it doesn't even have to be BIONICLE-related] -- just keep in mind they're not official contests by any means.

Yes, you can hold a short story contest, as long as the entries are BZP-appropriate. :)

I have seen that some Blogs, have a content Block containing their account info. How do you add that?

~Ignaka~

Go to the "Content Blocks" tab, then select "Add Custom Content Block," which is at the top.

There's no way to automatically add one, if that's what you mean; you have to build it yourself.

I meant that some content blocks contain their proto, rank images, their Premier Member title etc. Check this here. Scroll down to the Member info. How do I make it display the proto and everything said above?

You'll have to save Proto, rank images and other images you want there, upload them to Majhost and link to them in the

block. You'll have to type the rest, or at least copy+paste the content.

Ahh....Thanks. I feel such a noob.

So, image-only replies are now banned. But what about image macros? If the caption is relevant to the topic, would that count as the words required for the comment?

 

Also, if I quoted two people, and replied to one with words, and replied tot he other with just an image, would that be permitted?

 

Thanks for your time, blog staffers. :)

No, macros are explicitly disallowed on their own. They are, in fact, the purpose behind this rule.

 

Yes, the second example would be acceptable.

Hm, but exactly why are image-only comments disallowed? Is the fact that BZP isn't an image board the only reason?

Because personally, I can't see any harm in them.

Because I said so. :)

 

But seriously though, because they were getting out of hand and replacing real content with spam.
