Hi members and visitors of CURECONNECTIONS,

you always wanted to participate in Web2.0 and have your own Blog? You just didn't know where to have it? You waiting has an end, here is your opportunity:

CURECONNECTIONS is offering to the members a full, free and professional Blog system. Everybody can have his own personal Blog now. Not only for The Cure and music issues, for all you like to use it for.

Here are some features:

Fast Start
The CURECONNECTIONS Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar CURECONNECTIONS editor). There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalise their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.

Fully Featured
It is a feature-rich blog application, with support for fully formatted WYSIWYG posts, attachments, comments, trackbacks and pingbacks, draft posts and categories, as well as seamless integration with the overall CURECONNECTIONS Forum.

Blog Home Page
Available via a single click from any CURECONNECTIONS page, the blog home page aggregates activity from all member blogs into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, a featured blog post (selected at random), full support for browsing posts by date and overall blogging statistics.

Syndication and Subscriptions
Site wide and per-blog RSS feeds allow syndication to external readers, and full support for CURECONNECTIONS subscriptions enables users to join their favorite blogs and receive regular email updates.

Profile Support
Member blogs are integrated with the CURECONNECTIONS profile system – profile information is displayed alongside blog posts, and existing profile pages are enhanced with information about blog activity.

Blog Control Panel
The Blog Control Panel empowers members to control every aspect of their blogs, from permission controls (who has access to view and comment on the blog), to full management of blog categories, draft posts, trackbacks/pingbacks and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.


But of course we are already facing the future, so here are a few additional Blog features showing up within a short time only:

- Tags
- Featured Entries
- Blogroll
- Blog customizations

All that is left to say is we hope you use that fantastic new and free feature, create your own Blog and make our community grow and become even stronger.

Have fun and cheers,
CURECONNECTIONS Crew
