Add Trusted Commenter to the Un-Moderated Commenter List

Posted: 5-14-2009 in Quick Blogcast by Go Daddy

Most administrators want to moderate blog comments by approving them before they are made public.  When a trusted individual leaves frequent comments, however, it is a really tedious process to approve the commenter again and again.

For those special individuals whose comments you trust, you can moderate their comment once and add them to the un-moderated commenter’s list. Any comments from individuals on the un-moderated commenter’s list display immediately on your blog.

Don’t worry, if your un-moderated commenter suddenly turns rogue, you can take away the privilege at any time.

New Tag Cloud Sidebar Widget

Posted: 4-21-2009 in Quick Blogcast by Go Daddy

Now that you’ve been tagging your entries with our new tag feature, you
may want to give your readers a way to easily see which tags you use
the most—and to let them click the tag to view all entries using that
tag.

That’s what our new Tag Cloud widget does.

The Tag Cloud
widget is used to display the weighted list of tagged entries. Tag
Clouds describe, by relative size, which tags are most and least used.
A tag cloud can increase your site’s “stickiness” by encouraging

Tag your entries

Quick BlogcastTM now lets you add tags to your blog posts. From a programming perspective, categories and tags are nearly identical.

Unwanted People Reading Your Blog?

Posted: 2-9-2009 in Quick Blogcast by Go Daddy

Not every blogger intends to share his or her thoughts with the world. Some may want a private communication area for family, friends, or both. Or maybe just an online journal you can access from anywhere. If privacy is your intent, you may not want your coworkers, ex-girlfriends, or any unsavory people stopping by your [...]
